Very good flavor to go with Mexican meals. I used a 40 ounce and a 15 ounce can of beans, both of which I drained but did not rinse. I used some dried onions instead of the frozen. Used all the other ingredients as listed in the recipe. I used the whole bottle of beer, but also simmered this for several hours which reduced the beer to a thick flavorful sauce. Great recipe for a crowd!1Reply
