Question

Answer 1

You can buy ranch style beans in the can in most grocery stores. There a brand that is actually named "Ranch Style Beans":
The Ranch Style brand has its roots deep in the heart of Texas. Great Western Foods, the company that created the brand and the Ranch Style Brand Beans product, traces its origins to a commissary established in Denison, Texas in 1872, but it wasn't until 1934 that Ranch Style Brand Beans were introduced to consumers. The product proved to be an immediate success. Lloyd W. McKee, one of the past presidents, is the man credited with the creation of the authentic, western-style recipe which captures the flavors of the Old West. It took three years of intensive research to develop the well-known Ranch Style Beans.

Ranch Style Beans have a delicious, authentic western flavor, and their versatility has endeared them to generations of bean lovers, including the rich and famous. Elizabeth Taylor, Humphrey Bogart, and Grace Kelly have ordered them. According to local lore, Ranch Style Beans were served at President Johnson's ranch on many occasions.

But Bush s "chilli beans" are close enough for most recipes.

I looked today in Wal-Mart in Michigan. They aren't available in Michigan. I bought La Costena Whole Pinto Beans to use in a recipe called Easy Mexican Casserole, https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151659576056318&set=a.10150620447541318.437736.610956317&type=1&theater, that called for Ranch Style Beans.
