Well you have to try this one then.





Depending on how much you want to make depends on how many cans of beans you choose.





I like light red kidney beans, mixed beans, garbanzo beans and northern beans.





Drain all the beans of the liquid that comes in the can with them.





Add these to a bowl with a large sweet onion chopped. Pour over this a large bottle of French Dressing.





When you are ready to serve and not before add a large bag of Frito Corn Chips (regular size).





Mix well and enjoy!
A jar of great northern beans drain them and put into a bowl with a small diced sweet onion and an 8 oz bottle of italian dressing. Mix it up and let sit in fridge over night. (or not, it's still good) You can use a high fat or no fat zesty italian dressing, it's all good.

I like to mix canned kidney beans (rinsed) with chopped dill pickles, onions, celery and hard-boiled eggs with Miracle Whip and a tablespoonful of sugar.
