Smoky Black Beans
41
ReneeW.
"My daughter and I love the black beans found at a popular fast food chicken restaurant, but I could not find a recipe for that particular taste. I think I came pretty close with this one. A little spicy, a little sweet but oh, so good!!! These beans go great with almost any meat but are especially good with grilled chicken."

I don't really care for black beans, but Husband loves them, and he didn't like this at all. The sweet/spicy/smokey flavors just don't work. I ended up throwing most of it away. Thanks anyway.

Instead of pickled jalapeno peppers, I used a 4 oz. can of diced jalapeno peppers and it was great.

I make this recipe regularly but I rarely have the forethought to pre-soak beans.. so I just use canned black beans. It's very good!

I like the flavor of this recipe a lot, though it surprised me as I guess I was expecting something a little more southwest and it reminds me instead of Boston Baked Beans, only with turtle bean...

These are great! My husband AND kids like them. I sometimes make them without the bacon and less br. sugar and they are still really good!

I thought the beans were too sweet. My husband didn't think they were smoky enough. All in all, not a recipe I would make again.
