I often change the variety of beans in this classic recipe, using whatever I have on hand to total five 15- to 16-ounce cans. The sauce makes any combination delicious! It's a gluten-free side dish that's popular with everyone. —Peggy Gwillim, Strasbourg, Saskatchewan

This is a wonderful recipe! my husband thought it was perfect but i thought a lil less ketchup next time maybe. added some smoked sausage and served with my Jalapeno Cornbread recipe.

I used all seasonings in recipe, no corn and beans as followed- 1 can chili beans with sauce, 1 can black beans, 1 can red kidney beans, 1 big (like double normal size) pinto beans and 1 can cannellini beans. I used red onion, I didn't have enough celery so I added some celery seed to make up. It's not even done and I keep finding myself eating it.

I think this will be our bring for the family reunion next weekend! Deffinitly a keeper.

Have had a similar recipe for 15 years - It's excellent. Sometimes I put bacon in it.

I do this same recipe, but instead of ketchup and seasonings, I substitute bottled bbq sauce(may fave is KC's Masterpiece, spicy flavor). Also add several slices of cooked and crumbled bacon for even more flavor. Not low cal, but tastes great.

I've already made this recipe a couple times for parties and am getting ready to make it again for a potluck banquet. It is delicious, garnering compliments and recipe requests, and so easy to make using the crock pot. In my case, I do not like lima beans, so I substituted pinto beans. I imagine you could have fun throwing in some fresh herbs of choice to add even more flavors. I might even throw in some chopped cilantro this time!
