Not a fan. The sauce was too sweet and the beans were bland. I won't be making this recipe again.

Overall, this is a good recipe, but it needs a few tweaks. I would add some more spices to the sauce and I would also cook the beans until they are slightly soft.

The beans were a bit undercooked for my liking, but the sauce was delicious. I'll definitely try this recipe again, but I'll cook the beans for a few extra minutes.

I followed the recipe exactly and the beans turned out a bit too sweet for my taste. Next time I'll reduce the amount of sugar or add a bit of vinegar to balance out the flavors.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this dish. I'm not usually a big fan of beans, but the sweet and sour sauce really made them shine. I served it over rice and it was the perfect meal.

I love how versatile this recipe is. I was able to use canned beans, which saved a lot of time, and I also added some chopped bell peppers and carrots for extra veggies. The dish turned out great and my family loved it.
