My 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.

These beans were baked in the oven. |
I have also cooked these beans in my crock pot (slow cooker). So easy to
do - just prepare the beans in the morning and place in your crock pot over low
heat for 6 to 8 hours. |
