What a great side dish for Barbeque. I demonstrated this recipe in a BBQ cooking class and it was a hit. The winning ingredients were Of coarse the Bush's Best beans and the Benton bacon which is available at Benton's in Sweetwater Tennessee. I made this at home before class to perfect the recipe. After a few experiments I found the best canned beans were Bush's Best Original Beans.
