Very good and easy to make! I omitted the milk and it was great. Served over brown rice.

I came across this recipe as I did a search for "Navy Beans". I've had a package in my pantry for quite some time and decided it was finally time to use them. I'm so happy I found this recipe. It was easy to make and tasted great. I served it with some nice crusty bread. Even the kids enjoyed it. Must be the bacon :)
