I swear these Sweet Mango Baked Beans is the only way to go! Serve this fabulous side dish at your next BBQ.
I really enjoy some good baked beans. Especially with ribs or chicken. Living in Southern California, with its huge Mexican influence, you often find refried beans, pinto beans, and black beans. Nothing wrong with that at all, just a little more challenging to find some good baked beans. So I decided to make these Sweet Mango Baked Beans.
Since I love mango, this Sweet Mango Baked Beans recipe was a win-win for me. If you have a hard time finding Great Northern Beans at your local grocery store, you can easily substitute for a different type of white beans like Navy Beans or Cannellini beans.

Wear disposable gloves when handling Hot Peppers.
The capsaicin in hot peppers is what makes peppers hot. If you handle hot peppers gloveless, it’s a guarantee that you’re in for a nasty case of chili burn, both on your fingers and anywhere you rub. Like your face. Ouch!
Even if you wear disposable gloves, be careful about what you touch. The gloves are going to protect your fingers, but touching any part of your body with the gloves after you’ve handled hot peppers can lead to severe chili burn. Resist the temptation to rub your eyes. Wait until you’ve removed your gloves and washed your hands thoroughly with soap.
