Baked Beans
Contributed by: Cajun Clark
"From my friend in Maine, a bona fide New England Baked Bean recipe. Cleo claims it's her Daddy's Best. Knowing her she's probably right.
"But you have to wonder, like...did her Daddy get the recipe from Duke? Or maybe Duke got it from her Daddy? Hmmm.... Regardless of where Daddy acquired his recipe any one with a modicum of sense knows that 'homemade' is the best. So if you have the hungers for baked beans give it a try," Caj.
