Freezable Sides: Baked Beans
This is a recipe my mother has been making for as long as I can remember. And in my adult life I have made them many times. I am not exaggerating when I say that every time that I make them people go nuts over them. I am asked to bring them back time and again. It could be the high quantities of sugar, or maybe it is the bacon. Who knows. They are just plain good which is all that matters.
