My family always enjoys this bean recipe. The only (minor) gripe I have about it is that with the prescribed brown sugar, I think it's a bit on the sweet side. I usually put slightly less. Overall, great recipe.

wonderful followed as written! Don't try to substitute ham hocks for ham, though. A nice ham bone works great in place of just leftover ham.

Expected this to come out a bit on the boring side, but my husband and I were both pleasantly surprised with the end results! I modified it using canned beans. I cut the sugar in half as recommended in many other reviews and I think it was just right; the full amount of sugar would have been far too sweet. Also used red onion and added celery and garlic. After sauteing the veggies I simmered the entire dish in some corned beef stock I had frozen after St Patty's dinner until reduced to my liking. This was a wonderful blend of sweet, salty and heat from the cayenne. Thanks so much for this keeper!

I took the advice of several other reviewers and reduced the brown sugar by half. I also pan fried the ham with onions for a few minutes before adding it to the beans. My family loved it.

First you must know my children are VERY picky on the food they eat. This recipe is totally awesome. One bite and both children wanted more. I followed the directions exactly and there were no left overs. I will double the recipe next time so there are left overs.

I blindly followed the recipe, it being rated 4.5/5 with 200 reviews, which usually means you really can blindly follow the recipe and come out shiny. WAY too sweet, I should have read the reviews first. It's better than the 1 star I'm giving it, but I'm trying (fruitlessly) to make up for you other reviewers who give it 5 stars while changing it completely. STOP IT!
