"My nieces wanted to prepare dinner for their young girlfriends who were coming for a sleep-over. They wanted to make beans and franks. We could have taken the easy way out and bought some baked beans, add hot dogs and brown sugar and bake them for a while, like I used to do when I was a kid. But no, the girls would have none of that and insisted on making beans from seratch. So we gave this recipe a try but used small white beans in place of the great northerns and pintos. The recipe did not disappoint...it was easy to make, tasted terrific, and was a hit with the kids!"
