Sweet Texas Caviar
"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."

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I've been hunting for this recipe for a decade! Only thing I remember differently is red onions! Thank you again, & can't wait to make this VERY SOON! Glenda -
This was the exact recipe I was looking for! It's great, our whole family loves it. -
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!
