Reader’s Recipe: Our Old Settlers Baked Beans

August 25, 2011 By Jenn @ Frugal Upstate 2 Comments

This recipe was sent to me by my good friend Sweetie over at Basics Matter for the Frugal Food Series: Beans.

While she uses canned beans in this recipe, you could easily substitute dried beans that you have soaked and cooked for the kidney beans and possibly the pork & beans (great northern or navy beans either plain or made up into a homemade pork & beans recipe)

    Thanks for the recipe. I wish there was a picture. I kinda need to visualize to help determine if I will try it.

      Hmmm. Well, since it’s a reader’s recipe I don’t have a picture-but it sounds like a great potluck take a long-if you made a batch & brought it to an “event” it would get eaten and you could try it without your family having to eat it for days if they didn’t like it 😉
