The number two most requested recipe I have received is about stuffed eggs with the number one request (believe it or not) being Baked Beans. Many of the emails I get are people who are trying to replicate meals they had as a child or something their parents or grandparents made many years ago.
The recipe I am about to give you is a little off the beaten path, but I have taken a generational classic and made it into something I think you will enjoy and pass down to your children. It combines that great taste you had growing up with boosted flavor and a manner of serving that everyone will be asking about.
