This is a wonderful casserole to take to large gatherings. When my son was a teenager, his friends used to ask me to make "hot bean salad," their name for this dish. Spanish Beans are better mixed together the day before and refrigerated overnight to allow the flavors to marry. Bring to room temperature, then bake. Also freezes well!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

These Spanish beans are a fun, tasty twist on baked beans and are meant to serve a crowd. Filled with meat, they are very hearty. They're sweet, but not overly sweet. They're a nice combination of sweet and savory. Using kidney beans, green beans, wax beans, and lima beans means these baked beans are filled with a lot of flavor and texture. A wonderful cookout or potluck side dish.
