Iowa Baked Beans

Submitted by Park Rangerette

"The flavor of this recipe is classic and can serve as the main dish of the meal (great with a side of corn bread!) or as a side dish. Cook stove top or in the crock pot. When I drain the black beans and red beans (or substitute your favorite beans!) I don't drain super-well ... I just pour off the top and leave the rest of the liquid for flavor."
