Notes
- I recommend using plain white vinegar. While you can substitute that with apple cider vinegar, It adds a different flavor that doesn't seem necessary for this recipe.
- It's very important to drain the beans. The last thing you want is water beans.
- This is a quick and easy recipe and makes a perfect southern side. If you are making a large dinner to be served family style, add these to a slow cooker set to keep warm so they're ready to go.
