I have been making these beans for years. The recipe originally came from my sister. It is a very easy recipe to alter to suit your taste. My sister makes these with ground beef, which would make them a nice main dish. I usually leave the ground beef out and make these beans as a side dish. You can also vary the type of beans you use. I usually make these beans in the crock pot, but you can also put it all into a 13" x 9" in. pan and bake at 350 for 45-60 minutes. Enjoy!
