Cousin Gary’s Baked Beans
The kitchen is closed on our gravel road today because the man of steel and I are going out to eat to celebrate our 37th wedding anniversary. This recipe for baked beans, a popular summer side dish, comes from my cousin Gary. I haven’t tried it yet (the man of steel isn’t a big bean lover), but want to take the dish to a potluck meal soon.
