  1. What are the measurements for the canned items please? (The only thing I would used canned of those would be the diced tomatoes.) Thx.

    1. Sorry about that TK – for the beans, that would be 1 1/2 cups of cooked beans to equal the amount in the cans. It would be 1 3/4 cups of broth & tomato sauce
