I've made these zesty beans many times for picnics and potlucks-they're hearty and zippy with chili pepper and the extra flavor of lentils in the ban mix. The recipe can be made ahead and heated before serving. -Arthur Morris, Washington, Pennsylvania

I've made these beans several times and they are always a hit. I like to add a little bit of chopped bacon to them for extra flavor.

These beans are so easy to make and they are so flavorful. I love that I can use canned beans, so I don't have to soak them overnight.
