My husband's mother shared this recipe with me shortly after we were married as she fixed it for many family gatherings. Now my father refuses to visit us unless I promise to make a pot of these beans for him. I am the apple of his eye when I cook this for him! I am blessed to have a great family who loves to cook, eat, and share recipes! (P.S. This is not your ordinary bean recipe!)
