I always drain the beans and save the liquid. Then you can use the liquid and add water to it if needed.

Tastes great. But either the recipe should have said to drain the beans, or to cook 3 hours. After the original time, it was bean soup. I let it cook for 3 more hours and NOW it's great. Thick and spicy.

I'm not too big into writing reviews, but these beans deserve it and the one star rating from one of the reviewers of this recipe is uncalled for. These beans are hearty and could stand alone as a meal if you added a side of rice. If you prefer sweeter beans, add 1/4 cup brown sugar (sometimes it depends on the type of tomato paste you use- some need that little bit of sweet to counteract the acidity of the tomato paste itself. Please keep in mind that this recipe is NOT INTENDED FOR A CROCK POT!!! Crock pots tend to leach the flavor right out of any recipe. This is why most crock pot recipes require a ton more salt and other spices to make up for this tendency. Also, don't forget to add a second pinch of salt when you add the beans and liquid into the mix. Enjoy!

I loved these beans. So did my family. My son is a vegetarian so I made a slight alteration to the recipe and it turned out delicious. I used a vegetarian Mexican chipotle sausage, which had a nice complimentary kick, made from natural grains (available at Wegman's and fakin bacon made from tempeh.

I really can't help but think these are truly missing something... Maybe not enough bacon or more sausage? They are tasty, and servable, but I just can't put my finger on what is not quite bringing these to the adjective "Rockin" A helpful tip would be to include how to use dry beans in this. I used one pound of dry beans, soaked over night. Before adding to the crock pot, I saute'd the onions, red pepper flakes and green onion, and then the italian sausage. Then I combined everything in the crock pot (adding some brown sugar to the recipe and cooked for like 10 hours on low. I then transferred to casserole and broiled the bacon on top.

My husband, who is not a cook, and I made them together. He was very excited to try them after I forced him to watch Food Network with me! LOL He loved them, I loved them! Not an everyday recipe for us, but def a recipe for cookouts and get togethers! Mmmmmm...

These beans were the best baked beans I have ever had! I will keep tweaking with more spice, etc, and make them my own! : I halved the recipe (the best that I could b/c I was going to a small BBQ, and every last bean was eaten! Everyone loved it and requested the recipe! It will go into my recipe files for future uses. In fact I am making them again today to take to another little backyard BBQ! Thank you, Chef Anne!
