Andra's Barbecue BeansMy friend, Andra Cook of Raleigh, NC is famous for her delicious North Carolina barbecue bean recipe. These wonderful tasting beans are always a favorite at any gathering. This bean dish seems to be a favorite of most men! Even people who say they don't like lima beans, love this bean dish. I usually double this recipe for our large gatherings.
