Beans, beans the magical fruit

When asking my mom what to bring to Jakes graduation party she started out saying a salad, I said I could bring beans, and she said… “Yes you should, and you should bring your grandma’s beans.”

Well when I called my Grandma for her recipe, she said I would love to give it to you, but I don’t have a “recipe.” So I went up to her house and made the beans with her, I kind of kept mental track of the recipe. Tweak these to your tastes.

Here’s my grandma and I at the party. Thanks for helping and teaching me Grandma!

Grandma Beans (From: My Grandma)

• 1 can kidney beans
• 1 can or frozen pkjg lima beans

• 1/2 c. brown sugar

Pour everything in a Nesco and cook on about 250 for 2-3 hours, taste and turn down temp. Add extra BBQ, brown sugar, mustard or ketchup depending on flavor.

Chill in fridge overnight, and heat up for 2-3 hours the next day on low until warm, over cooking will result in mushy beans.
