I thought this was a little sour so I added more sugar than it called for, you can adjust to your taste. To speed things up, I used bagged coleslaw mix and precooked bacon crumbles. I’m sure it’s better made the original way but sometimes life gets busy 🙂
1 (15 oz.) can large red kidney beans, drained
1 (15 oz.) can garbanzo beans, drained
