I love making this dish when I can pick the beans right out of the garden and put them into the pot. The fresh taste is unbeatable. I've also made it with beans purchased at the store. Either way, you'll find this recipe a winner. There's no need for any extra seasonings at the table. -Ina Reed, Kingman, Arizona

Here's a great recipe for baked beans! Simple to cook, goes with many other recipes, and it's big on taste. I haven't done so, but I'm sure it would work in the crock pot. This is great for pot-lucks. This goes great with coleslaw and some roasted corn on the cob.

SAVORY BEANS
This dish is from Camp Fire Girls Day Camp. It was so tasty, my mother continued making it through the years as a way to get me to eat veggies. My family has enjoyed it also. As the kids get older, you can spice it up a bit with onion, garlic, tomatoes, etc. Great for those days when you can't decide what to cook. Just add cornbread and you've got the whole meal.

- Add flavorings: There are many ways to add flavor to beans. Common flavorings include onions, garlic, celery, carrots, bacon, ham, and spices. You can also add herbs such as parsley, thyme, and rosemary.
- Cook the beans until they are tender: Beans should be cooked until they are tender but not mushy. The cooking time will vary depending on the type of bean and the method of cooking.
- Serve the beans hot or cold: Beans can be served hot or cold. Hot beans can be served as a main course or side dish. Cold beans can be used in salads, soups, and stews.
