I use what ever kind of beans I have in my cupboards, and usually more like 4 or 5 cans! I have taken them to potlucks and always see people heading back for seconds. I freeze small portions and give to my dad, he loves them too! doodlebugmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03032541710183012767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-7703469029660015242016-07-05T12:10:14.177-07:002016-07-05T12:10:14.177-07:00I made this for family this weekend and it was a h...I made this for family this weekend and it was a hit.
