These beans were bland and boring. I won't be making them again.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my beans were a little too soupy. I think I'll reduce the amount of liquid next time.

These beans were a little too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. Next time, I'll use less cayenne pepper.
