I've never had Hacienda Colorado style beans before, but I'm so glad I tried this recipe. They were absolutely delicious! I will definitely be making these again.

These beans were very good, but I found them to be a little bland. I added some additional spices to taste and they were much better.

I made these beans in my slow cooker and they turned out great. I let them cook on low for about 8 hours and they were perfect. The beans were so tender and the flavor was amazing.

These beans were a little too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. I think next time I'll use less chili powder. Otherwise, they were very good.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit. The beans are always tender and flavorful, and the sauce is delicious. I like to serve these beans with rice and a side of sour cream.
