Personal Notes:
For lovers of baked beans, this is a great recipe, and the meats make it hearty (manly!). You can vary the kinds of beans according to taste, these are just some that I like. The different kinds and colors make a more interesting appearance and taste. This is not a dish that I make often because of its high sugar content, but it's great for summer picnics and pot lucks.
Blenda Long -I don't drain the pork and beans. If you need to stretch this for a crowd add more pork and beans.
