"Thank You Aunt Alta, this is her recipe. It is one of those make in the morning and let it cook all day or do the day ahead. Works well to make ahead and reheat in a crock pot to the picnic."

  1. Your Aunt Alta knows her beans! This is one of the best bean recipes I have ever had. Followed directions except after final mixing I put them straight into the crock pot and cooked them on low for 6 hours. Everyone enjoyed them. I will be making these again REAL soon.

Along with cookbooks I collect old glass fruit bowls, and depression glass, and other types of glass.<br />Raised on the coast of Washington state, and LOVE FRESH seafood ! I have lived in Montana, and New Mexico also, and now live in the Beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota. <br />&nbsp;I&nbsp;am known for takeing a recipe and change it to my own taste, but think a lot of us do this.&nbsp;<br />I have worked in food settings most of my&nbsp;life or else an office.<br />&nbsp;Currently Chef for PTI Oil States out of Houston Tx. Have worked on North Dakota, Wyoming, Utah, Montana where ever they send me is an adventure and Im glad I invested in a camera last year !<br /><br /><img src=http://www4.clustrmaps.com/stats/maps-no_clusters/www.recipezaar.com-member-628624-thumb.jpg alt=/ /></p>
