These beans are a good starting point, but I would add some additional spices to give them more flavor.

These beans are ok, but they're not as good as I was hoping. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but these beans turned out really bad. They were dry and hard.

I've tried this recipe several times and I can never get the beans to cook evenly. They're always either undercooked or overcooked.

I followed the recipe exactly and the beans turned out mushy. I think I overcooked them. Next time I'll cook them for less time.

These beans are a little too spicy for my taste, but they're still really good. I would recommend using less chili powder if you don't like spicy food.
