Canned beans never had it so good. You can pick and choose your favorite beans for this dish, because the cooking method is what makes this salad zing. The beans are simmered in bacon drippings and a sweetened vinegar/cornstarch mixture that coast each bean and makes a thick delicious sauce.

My husband is a vegetarian so I've also made this without the bacon. It is just as delicious either way.

This is Jodi T. the original submitter of this recipe. I have since started using Balsamic vinegar to make this and it literally flies out of the bowl. I usually serve it at a buffet in a crockpot. I have to make a double batch. GREAT RECIPE!

i used white wine vinegar instead of regular vinegar. these are really good, but not spectacular. i liked them, so i can give it 4 stars, but my family didn't like them.

My husband just loves this dish-we are vegetarians so I use 'veggie' bacon and a bit of canola oil instead of pork. I saute about 1/2 of a thinly slided onion with the 'bacon'. We eat the leftovers cold with rolls for lunch the next day. Thank you Jodi T. for this great recipe!

Sorry to be the "black sheep" so to speak...but I wasn't crazy about this dish. I love beans but just didn't enjoy them cooked this way. The sugar was very overwhelming and I didn't like the combination of beans. Some were soft and others were tough in texture. I got confused while I was chewing. I did eat a bowl...just becasue they are soooo healthy. But one word of advice...plan on sleeping ALONE after you've eaten this ;)

Very tasty! I think it also tastes better after it chills a day, the flavors blend more. Also good cold.

I personally don't like bean salads, but my hubby does. I found this recipe and it sounded like something he would like, so I made it for him. He really liked it, although he thought it would be better cold. Also, there was so much left that he reheated it the next night and I think he liked it better the 2nd time around!! Definitely worth a try!

I made this for supper last night when unexpected company came for supper. Just went to the cupboard and grabbed the different cans of beans out. I used turkey bacon and then added some bacon drippings for the flavor. WONDERFUL!!!!!

This one was very popular and I had to share the recipe. Though I had to use less sugar and less vinegar it apparently still turned out well and is a keeper.

What's nice about this bean salad is that it is served hot. This plus the bacon makes this dish a real treat.

Fabulous indeed. A shame it's the farthest thing from dietetic... I don't like garbanzo beans so I replaced them with a can of white lima beans. Delicious.
