Creative
Cookery
I ilnu* F. Milam
Baked beans are a favorite
with most people. This recipe
is very good. The beans are
flavorful and the sauce is
thick. Fry the bacon to the
almost crisp stage before
putting on top of the beans:
Then it will be crisp when the
beans are cooked. This tried
and true recipe is from Mrs.
Juanita Carmichael.

'-i cup water
1 medium onion, chopped
2 tablespoons Apple Cider
vinegar
Bacon strips
