These are incredible. I followed the recipe almost exactly, except I didn't measure the garlic (I used 5 - 7 cloves)and I didn't have a fresh jalapeno so I used a can of diced green chiles. I also used 2 or 3 chicken bullion cubes to cook the beans in broth and omitted the salt because there's plenty of sodium in bullion cubes. The beans are so good! They're super easy to make and take no prep time at all. It's nice to know exactly what's in them and that they are fat and perservative free. It makes me feel like I'm eating a little healthier. At first we just ate them plain as a side dish, but they were so good that we used them in tacos and burritos. Super YUM! Thanks Chef Claude! This recipe is a keeper. We ate the last of the first batch last night and I've already got more cooking in the crock pot this morning.

This is a great recipe. I like it much more with white sugar instead of powdered sugar though. Try that if it doesn't taste quite right to you. Love it, love it, love it!

This recipe is incredible! It was a big hit with my family. Once or twice I've even painted the pie crust with melted chocolate, then let it harden before adding the strawberries, and that was a great success as well.
