Personal Notes:
I have made gallons and gallons of these beans. You can add other kinds of beans for texture and color and can double the ingredients, triple them or even more without changing the flavor of the dish. You can also leave it in the oven for extended periods of time if you are waiting on guests who are busy drinking beer and wine.
