I cooked the beans in the grease(no water added) as another reviewer had done,Mistake....The beans were too greasy tasting...Also I used a bacon with too much maple flavoring which really didnt do anything for the beans..I am not rating this recipe,just telling you all what not to do....

Really yummy! DH gobbled them up. I only used about 12 oz. of water, and it was more than enough. Of course, DH liked sopping up the 'juice' with bread, so that was okay.
