These black beans were a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time to give them more flavor.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover bacon. The beans are so creamy and flavorful and the bacon adds a nice smoky flavor.

I'm not a big fan of black beans, but I tried this recipe because my husband loves them. I was surprised at how much I liked them! The bacon and brown sugar really add a lot of flavor.

This recipe was a little too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just because I'm not a big fan of brown sugar. Other than that, the beans were cooked perfectly and the bacon added a nice smoky flavor.

I've tried many black bean recipes, but this one is by far the best. The addition of bacon and brown sugar gives it a unique and delicious flavor.

These black beans were a hit! They had the perfect balance of smokiness from the bacon and sweetness from the brown sugar. I'll definitely be making these again.
