If they come in a can normally marked Bush's we call them sweet beans in this section of town. All types of strategies to vary the flavor profile. Two hours with the lid off in the cool part of a smokey offset will sure make em smokey tasting. A can or two of Apple Pie filling and you can put whip cream on there and eat it for dessert. I have a million recipes laying around for anybody who wants to experiment. A one gallon can can feed 25 folks a 4 oz or half cup serving. Now if they come dried we call them according to what is wrote on the package. As in Pintos..Butter beans..Navy Beans..Black Eyed peas. All kinds of ways to clown around with them too. Now green beans aint counted as real beans in Texas. Those are foo foo food and normally reserved for yankees and chillins as a side for their chicken nuggets.
