Not a spicy dish like the other Texas Caviars out there, so I'm calling it 'sweet' due to the sugar. I got this from a friend several years ago and it has been a family favorite ever since. My brother-in-law goes crazy over it. It's a great party or potluck food. We always serve it on Fritos 'scoops', but tortilla chips would work, too.

This is an excellent recipe. I add one or two cans of drained Rotel tomatoes for more of a kick. I also reduced the sugar to 3/4 cup.

This is a very similar recipe to the one my mom makes - although the combination of beans and sugar might sound a little strange, it's to die for!
