This recipe was just okay. I found it to be a bit bland and unexciting.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my beans turned out really tough. I think I might have used old beans.

I love this recipe! I've made it several times and it always turns out delicious. I usually add a bit of diced onion and garlic to the sauce.

Meh. Not bad, but not great. The beans were a little overcooked and the sauce was a bit too tangy for my taste.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my beans turned out mushy. I think I'll try cooking them for a shorter amount of time next time.
