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 tried several different recipes for baked beans, but this one is by far the best. The beans are always cooked perfectly and the sauce is so flavorful.

I've never been a big fan of baked beans, but these were actually really good. The sauce was tangy and sweet, and the beans were cooked perfectly.

I love the idea of using canned beans to make this recipe. It's so convenient and the beans still come out tasting great.

These beans were a little too sweet for my taste, but my husband loved them. I think I'll try using less brown sugar next time.

These beans were a hit at our last cookout! I loved the addition of the bacon and brown sugar, it gave them a unique and delicious flavor. Will definitely be making these again.
