Excellent pot of beans! I used crockpot. Everyone went back for seconds.

I will definitely make these again. A nice change from the usual plain baked beans. I added crumbled bacon also for additional flavor. This smelled wonderful as it was cooking. I cut back on the chili powder depending on the people I was serving.
This dish is delicious unusual and has been a big hit every time I've cooked it. It's a great fall hearty dish and is great leftover for a Sunday afternoon meal. I use a crockpot and cook it for 30 minutes on high then 3-5 hours on low.
i was looking for a baked beans recipe to take to a picnic. Something differant than the same old thing. This was it. I doubled the recipe thinking there would be leftovers to bring home. Boy was I wrong. They ate every last bean! This is a great recipe and so easy. They smelled delicious while cooking and tasted just as good. Thanks Maureen.
I had to try these since my name is Maureen. I've made these beans three times and each time the group raved about them and I had requests for the recipe!
Brought this puppy into work and they loved it... can make minor substitutions in the beans... I didn't have wax beans so I used garbanzo beans.
I made these for a carry-in. Hardly anybody touched them at first. I guess they don't look that good. But I liked them and the people I got to try them said they were good.
Excellent! Great compliment to any potluck or BBQ. I followed the recipe to the T. I cooked these beans a day in advance for my daughters 2nd birthday party. I warmed them up in the crockpot. Everyone loved them. Not spicy or too sweet. Just right! Thanks for the recipe. Hope ya'll like the picture I posted.
Try this if you're looking for variations on a baked beans recipe: Saute onions and chopped bacon in a skillet with brown sugar apple cider vinegar and a touch or dry mustard. Once cooked and caramelized add to mixture of the following: Butter beans kidney beans lima beans and any assorted beans to your taste. Mix thoroughly and put into a glass baking dish in a 350 degree oven for 45 min. or until bubbly around the edges and center. Delish!
I had to do a great many things to these beans to improve the flavor I'm sad to say. 1 tablespoon of chili powder is not NEARLY enough to spice this up. I cooked mine the entire 5 hours and at some point maybe halfway through I decided enough was enough with waiting for the magic to happen and added a chopped bell pepper a chopped jalapeno a handful of dehydrated onions and several more tablespoons of chili powder. To be fair I did use a bigger can of tomato sauce initially than was called for though. In the end we liked the flavor but when I get around to submitting a photo you'll notice how amazingly un-pretty this recipe is. The green yellow red and whitish beans floating in a bright red sauce (not to mention the green beans being so long and obviously green beans) make it look...odd to say the least. I may try this recipe again with different beans & extra dark brown sugar...
