Sweet and Tangy Red Beans image

I made up this recipe this last 4th of July to go with Tri Tip and Onions. They were a hit, as people were getting seconds. This recipe takes time but requires very little attention. Beans are always a treat when having a crowd for dinner. These versatile beans would go very well with Grilled Sausages, BBQ Ribs, Steaks, any Pork...
