  • 1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
  • Red pepper sauce, if desired

    Cover and cook on low heat setting 4 to 6 hours or until desired consistency. Serve with pepper sauce.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    If you enjoy a bit of heat, shake in some red pepper sauce during the last hour of cooking, but not before, since hot sauce will become stronger-tasting and bitter over long, slow cooking. You can also pass a bottle of red pepper sauce at the table so everyone can season the beans as desired.
  • tip 2
    Pair these savory beans with spicy andouille sausage or shrimp hot off the grill, heaping spoonfuls of hot rice and a side of fried okra for a southern-style dinner experience.
