If you're having a summer cookout, but don't have a bean dish, are you even allowed to call it a cookout? A question for philosophers perhaps, but we're not going to test it; we're going to put out the best bean dish possible! That's the Backyard Three Bean Bake, if you were wondering; a beefy, succulent, savory mix of three different kinds of creamy, hearty beans that are baked to smoky sweetness with brown sugar and molasses. Mmmm, there's "bean" no side dish we've found that can match this Backyard Three Bean Bake!
