I have been making these Beans for more than 30 years. I have tasted different recipes for Baked Beans, but these are my favorite. I like them cold and I like them hot. Each time we have smoked Ribs…this recipe is a must. I make these beans with canned pork and beans….preferable Van Kamp. I…
This is an easy recipe that can be prepared the night before and cooked on low in the crock pot. Or put on high for 4 hours. You can add chopped pieces of ham and shredded cheese if desired. A very adaptable recipe. I use this recipe for some Holiday Dinners when I don’t want…
This recipe came from a friend of mine from 40 years ago. Lila had an eye for presentation and this recipe was something her Mother prepared regularly.
