I loved this recipe but I did not drain the beans. I used fresh onion, garlic and bacon. Used a whole bottle of beer. It takes almost an hour for the beer taste to go away but the beans have been on the stove top for over an hour now and they taste amazing. They are spicy which suprised me as neither Rotel nor green chilies are that hot.
