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

Love it! I'm trying to get more protein from other than meat sources and this is delicious. It is so versatile that you can tweak it to suite the ingredients in your cupboard (ie: I had celery to use up so I added more, I had balsamic vinaigrette dressing and substituted that, I added 1 yellow and 1 orange pepper and lots more onions.) I had my doubts about the brown sugar, but I did add it and I can see that it is an important ingredient.

This was really good, but it was twice as good the second day. next time I make this I will make it the day before.

You couldn't get me to eat any of these beans on their own, particularly lima beans, but blended together with the background ingredients makes this dish surprisingly tasty! It's the perfect potluck dish.

Made as stated without the celery ribs. Substituted 2 Tbsp dried celery leaves. Wasn't quite spicy enough for us, so added 2 Serrano peppers with seeds chopped finely. Very good for a main course with a tossed salad!

This is now one of my go-to recipes for potlucks & holiday's. I do not usually even like beans, but this has such great flavor, I go back for seconds every time. It makes quite a large batch, but I rarely have leftovers.

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.
