The recipe is good, but a little too spicy for my wife and me. As another reviewer commented, soaking the beans for only two hours didn't do the trick. The beans were still very hard. We heated the leftovers on the stove for several hours two days later and they were just right, Surely the beans need to be soaked overnight.

I followed this recipe exactly and the beans were hard. So, I turned it on for another four hours on high with more water and three hours in they are still hard. I think the cooking or soaking time on the recipe is wrong because I have a new slow cooker and it usually gets my slow cooker recipes done more quickly then the recipe time suggests. The flavor is wonderful though!

I try to appreciate vegetarian recipes more often, but this one left me wanting big chunks of smoked meat in it. It's OK as a small side dish. Took a lot longer to cook, and I added water twice, but I don't blame the recipe for that. Beans seem to have a mind of their own.

I cooked this recipe on the day I saw it on the show. Followed it to a T except that I used red kidney beans because that's what I had. I only had 4 hours of prep time before dinner so I skipped the slow cooker and cooked it in a dutch oven for about an hour or so. I did add a little more liquid to keep it from drying out. The resulting beans tasted like Bush's grilling beans and I love it! I never buy beans in a can now.

The second time I made it, I used the slow cooker. I plugged it in around 11PM and turned it off at 8AM the next day. The beans were super tender.

I thought the beans had an awesome flavor. So much tastier and healthier than canned and soooo easy. I followed the recipe exactly.

I agree. These beans were decent, just not great. However, my family enjoyed them. I just wasnt wowed. I didnt have white beans so I used pinto and I added 1 inch chunks of browned boneless rib meat. Soaked the beans for more than 24 hours but still they were a little hard.
Also, even after adding water in the last half hour, they were a bit dry.

I did add 2 pieces of bacon just to beef up the smokiness. Decent beans but not the best I ever had
