My step dad growing up made this recipe.... I thought it was gross being only 4! Lol but every month he would make them. I finally tried them & loved them! Tastes way better than it sounded! He passed in 2003 & ever since I have made these every month & will continue to do tradition. My husband adds jalapeños but everyone I make these 4 say they are amazing. Even my kids love them! The beans r usually so small they don't notice :-)
