This recipe is so easy to put together. I use the canned beans instead of the dried beans in order to remove the step of soaking and boiling the beans. Also, in this recipe, I use sautéed bacon that is drained so the fat content is cut down extremely from the traditional salt pork. Enjoy with bacon and eggs or as a tasty side for BBQ ribs!
