Delicious beans. I had to to use canned beans, but will make them again when I have fresh. Thanks for sharing. Made for What's on the Menu tag. -
We loved em! The only problem is, even 5 mins steaming is not enough time. It was very crunchy so we had to cook them ALOT longer. Maybe it was something I did wrong, but in any case they were great! -
Loved these slightly sweet and sour beans. We cooked them longer, as well, to suit our tastes better. -
Years ago we had a Barbeque Restaurant who served beans like these and I could never quite duplicate the balance the flavors. This recipe is just perfect and works well with turkey bacon. Thank you Happy Val for sharing the recipe. -
This was wonderful! I made it for a potluck at work, and acouple of people raised eyebrows at the ingredients. The sugar & vinegar combo surprised them. I got nothing but raves for it.

<p>Hi, I'm Val. And yes, I am happy :) I live in one of the beautiful suburbs of Houston but I am from Southern Louisiana, Cajun Country. Although I truly enjoy cajun food, I also enjoy other cultural foods. I love to try different recipes, that's why I love recipezaar. My family and I enjoy dining at Thai, Chinese, Greek, Italian, Mexican, Lebanese, Vietnamese and Indian restauraunts. I also enjoy coming home and finding recipes of our favorite dishes we try at the restauraunts. <br /> <br />I have a terrific husband of 22 years, and 2 wonderful children- a 21 year old son and an 20 year old daughter. They are the loves of my life. Oh, I can't forget the other 3 precious members of the family- our 3 mini schnauzers, Ollie,Emmie and Charlie. They keep us all laughing. We are huge animal lovers. <br /> <br />I am a stay-at-home mom so I can log on to recipezaar in the morning and try to decide what I can cook for dinner. We all enjoy trying different recipes I find here. I'll keep searching for recipes so everyone keep on posting. (I try to post recipes when I can.) <br /> <br />Have a great day!!!!!</p>
