Have made this a few times now and it's gotten rave reviews! Did a little tweaking on it. I started by doubling the recipe because it didn't make enough the first time. I used a little more chorizo and drained a lot of the fat. Instead of the canned beans I cooked my own pintos this time and since my Dad doesn't like chunky tomatoes I used a large can of tomato sauce instead. Used chicken broth instead of water and a little more to make more of a soup like consistancy. Flavor is killer and now a staple recipe in my box!

I've made this recipe twice, once to try it out and then again as a dish to share. I thought it was delicious and wanted to know what others thought. It was a big hit. Everyone asked for the recipe and said they preferred Cowboy Beans over the traditional baked beans. I'm making it again for the July 4th cookout.
