Libby’s Baked Beans
These baked beans are easy to prepare and taste delicious! I grew up eating these at every occasion! I believe the recipe was on the can of Libby’s beans (the large 2kg can) that everyone kept! They’re a family favorite that I make through the year! I wrote the recipe down off the label my…
