I like my Cowboy Caviar on the Sweet Side and this looks like I'd really get into a bowl of it.

Never used it as a side dish, but it was a big hit with crackers on poker night (pre covid-19 time).

There used to be a BBQ Place in Conroe that served it as a Side and that's where I got introduced to it.
