Made as directed, using tomato sauce, but I didn't have the can of green chilies I thought I did. I subbed one jalapeno pepper, seeded & chopped instead. We loved serving this over rice but did feel that the molasses was overpowering of the other ingredients & the final result was a little too sweet for our tastes. In the future we'll cut the molasses down by about half. Some of the beans that had been on top near the end of cooking got a bit of a candied taste to them & I did enjoy that flavor. Thanks for sharing, luvcook'n! :) Made for ZWT5 - Ali Baba's Babes.

Skipped the molasse as I didn't want it too sweet, used ketchup and that made it sweet enough for my taste. Turned out really good, highly reccomended!

Delicious!!! Thanks for the recipe. I didn't have chili powder, so I just used a few sprinkles of garlic powder. Yum!!

This had a wonderful complex flavor, with the orange, molasses, and chili powder. I was in a hurry, so I cooked on the stove. I used ketchup and Penzey's Bold Taco Seasoning. This went SUPER with our fajitas, which also had orange juice in the marinade. I used about half the molasses amount. Yum! These beans went great inside the fajita and part of a taco salad, too (I thought it was the BEST part). I do look forward to making this again over rice, too. Thanks for posting! Roxygirl

I have not tried this recipe, it might taste good to some, but Cuban it's not!! Adding anything sweet to black beans is a sacrilege to Cubans!! Black beans to Cubans is strictly savory. This recipe is moe like Boston baked beans made with black beans.
