Delicious. I sub'd cannellini beans for the chickpeas (preference). Little bit sweet, little bit smoky. Enjoyed.

I substitute cannellini & black beans for the butter beans and lima beans. In addition to making it as a side dish, I also sometimes use it as a main dish (halve the number of servings) with a bit of cornbread. I also prefer using a crock pot on low to really let the flavor develop.

These beans turned out really good. I made them for Father's Day and everyone enjoyed them. I substituted great northern beans for the lima beans and also added a can of black beans and some liquid smoke. Very nice!

Wonderfully sweet beans. Some of the bean types were substituted since I could not find some of them canned, but it came out perfectly. Well done.

I made these for a 4th of July party - and all agreed that they were wonderful! I also substituted nothern beans for lima beans, and added some liquid smoke and a splash of cider vinegar. Great recipe. Thanks!
