Sweet 'n' Sour Beans
"This bean dish is surprisingly low in fat, even with the bacon in it. I adapted it from a higher-calorie version that used ground beef," offers Carla Specht from Annawan, Illinios. "This is great served as a side dish with grilled meats...or over rice as a main dish."8 ServingsPrep: 15 min. Bake: 55 min.
