I made this tasty side dish last year to go with some grilled grub. Neither of us really like typical potato salad, so this was a nice substitute. The bean sprouts were a great addition for a little crunch, though I wouldn’t go out of my …
I love baked beans – a lot. I don’t like many canned baked beans, but I used to love these: yes, baked beans with chicken. I used to eat half a can and call it dinner. Kind of gross, huh? I’m not sure that they …
