    Awesome! I made these for my son's 8th Birthday! They were the only dish that was devoured! I followed the recipe exactly!

    These beans were so delicious! They were a huge hit. Even my kids liked them and they are picky. I didn't add the jalepenos or hot sauce and they were still fantastic!!!
