Yummy, light beans. I used the pink beans, let them soak overnight and then threw the beans in a crockpot while I was away all day. I set them on low, 8 hours, but probably overcooked them. Still, awesome and delicious. I didn't have any ham, so just tossed some extra bacon in instead, turned out delightful. Paired with the Santa Maria tri-tip and maybe some potato salad, this would be big hit at any BBQ this summer! If you like chili sauce, add even more than the recipe calls for. I love it as is. I will be making this again if called for a side dish to any BBQ event this year.

I made this to go with the Recipe #185560 for our Mexican Themed Father's Day BBQ. They turned out REALLY well and everyone ate them up. I did change a few things, but not the basic recipe. I cooked the beans in the crock pot and after they were done I made the sauce and poured them over the beans. Then I put the crock pot on warm until dinner was served. Somehow I expected these to be more like baked beans with a heavy sauce, but this sauce is light and spicy, sweet and delicious!

I live with my husband near Seattle. I'm a college administrator, a Mac geek, a Deadhead, and a fat activist. I love to mess around (and make a mess) in the kitchen--there isn't much that I don't like to cook. My pie crust is getting almost as good as my mother's, and that's saying something!
