"Always a huge hit at BBQ's. Can be assembled and then frozen in advance. Also, can halve the recipe easily. The lemons are the key."

This was very good, I think I would drain the pork & beans next time- it was a little bit more liquidy then I prefer. I might also omit one of the meets, probably the smoked sausage. Loved it though! -
These beans are very good. They have such wonderful flavor. Thanks for sharing. -
Yummy, yummy. Hubby loves smoked sausage, pork n' beans and rice, and I wanted to use my dehydrated food storage (ham, bacon and onions). Everyone was happy with this one. It's definitely a keeper. -
Made for Holiday Tag. Oooo I loved these beans served them with cornbread,cole slaw and some grilled sausages. I would'nt change a thing! -
We really loved these! But I think we're going to call these 'The Three Little Pigs Beans." Why? Because they have bacon, smoked sausage, AND ham! And it's so easy to "pig out" on them if you're not careful! Thanks for posting Gail! Made for Newest Zaar Tag.

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
