Pink Beans in Tomato Sauce image

I learned to make this dish after I got married once I realized my husbands family is addicted to it! It is served over rice, and I normally make fried chicken or baked chicken to go along with it, but it goes great with bbq as well! --When I was on vacation this summer, I couldn't find pink beans where I was, but red beans or kidney beans can easily be substituted as well as canilini beans. Pink beans its just a personal preference and what my husband likes!
