These were very good and exactly what I was looking for. I was looking for a recipe that would taste similar to canned pork and beans. Being a vegetarian, I left out the pork. It is near impossible to find canned beans in tomato sauce without pork. These were delicious and a recipe I will use often. Thanks, TheresaP.

I made this years ago and lost the recipe. It's so good. Tastes so much better than the boughten pork and beans. I took this to a church dinner and everyone loved it. I took home an empty dish. LOL Thanks for posting. deb*U*
