Summer is quickly approaching and with it, lots of opportunities to fellowship by having picnics and holiday barbecues. Baked beans are always a staple not matter what your serving, and this recipe is extra good!
I was given this recipe by Kristin Hammett, and I modified it slightly to our preferences by leaving out the white sugar. My kids love it, and promptly named it after her!
