Oh My Gosh Are These Good! We were looking for something to serve with grilled boudin, and these were perfect! I did used chicken broth in place of the water, but I think the ham and bacon are what really seasoned the beans to perfection! These were wonderful and they will be making the rounds at our house on a regular basis. Thanks so much for posting this recipe, we enjoyed it very much! :)
