Description
This recipe will quickly become a staple of your backyard BBQ spreads. It ditches the typical canned beans for a colorful array of dried beans including red beans, great Northern beans, and pinto beans. The combination gives the dish a unique earthy flavor that pairs beautifully with the sweet and spice from the BBQ sauce. It’s simple to make and cooks unattended, leaving you time to smoke some killer pulled pork or ribs, or grill some super-moist chicken. The recipe is a Yummly original created by Marrekus and Krysten Wilkes of Cooks with Soul.
