Easy Baked Beans
"Baked beans just go with cookouts; it’s the perfect side dish for hamburgers, hot dogs, and goes with any other side dish on the menu. The simple additions of bacon, green bell peppers, onions, and condiments added bring so many flavors to canned pork and beans. From start to finish this dish is done in less than one hour. This is by far the most requested side dish requested by our family and friends for me to make."
