? 1/4 cup coarsely chopped onion
? 1/4 cup coarsely chopped green pepper
? 1 teaspoon margarine
? 1/2 of 16-oz. can tomatoes
? 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
? 1/16 teaspoon salt
? Dash pepper
? 1 1/4 cups dried navy beans, cooked, unsalted, drained

Directions : 1. Cook celery, onion, and green pepper in margarine until tender – about 5 minutes.

2. Break up large pieces of tomatoes. Add tomatoes and seasonings to cooked vegetables. Bring to a boil.
