About the Recipe
This recipe is one of our most popular. We've shared it many times with friends and family members who have raved about how delicious it was.
When our son-in-law, who is from England, came to visit us for the first time ever, we hosted a big barbecue with family members that were excited to meet him. We made sure to make some of our favorite American and barbecue foods, including our party beans. He loved them! He ate 4 helpings and was tempted to go for a 5th! He also loved them with our homemade cornbread and barbecue sausages.
