One thing I love about beans is that there are so many ways you can use them. What makes Hurst beans so special is that each package provides a yummy recipe on the bag and includes a flavor packet that is all natural (no artificial flavors or preservatives). Whether you choose to add it to a soup or stew or mix it with rice, with a great low price of $2.99 for 8 full servings, it is a easy way to make a meal that will fill up the whole family without breaking the bank. You can find Hurst beans in all Publix stores in the dry bean section.
I asked Kevin to create a yummy recipe using Hurst beans and this is what he came up with (he is calling it “White Bean Stew”):
 Ingredients:
- 1 bag of Hurst white beans
- 2.5 lb chuck roast
- 6 carrots
- Knorr beef homestyle stock (2 tubs)
- 1 white potato
- 2 sweet potatoes
- medium yellow onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1/2 tsp Worcestershire
- salt and pepper to your liking
Soak the beans for 4+ hours in water. Stew the chopped onions and garlic along with the chuck roast in the Knorr beef stock w/ water for an hour (see instructions on tub for amount of water to use). Combine the beans and roast and bring to boil. Lower temp and simmer for a half hour. Then add all the other ingredients and cook for an additional half hour.
This made enough stew for about 8 -10 servings.

Disclosure: I was given several packages of Hurst beans to create the recipe above along with a $25 Publix gift card. All opinions are 100% mine and not influenced in any way.
Kevin’s soup sounds great, I especially like the sweet potatoe, hadn’t thought of adding that. I would like to try the beans to make Split Pea soup….my favorite!

I love Hurst Harvest bean soups. I am thinking of making the Cajun soup recipe (I have a package of it on hand). I am somewhat of a wimp though! The first time I made it I used the whole package of seasoning mix. WHOOO EEEE….spicy, spicy, spicy. I ended up making a big pot of rice to put it over so I could eat it. Now I know better than to add the whole package! This time I am thinking of adding diced potatoes and maybe some diced up cooked turkey bacon. Thanks for having this giveaway….
