They're also easy to make, and can stand a lot of variations. Although the recipe seems to be most popular in Maryland and Virginia, they are also a bit hit here in Maine, where people consider thems to be bean experts. MARYLAND CROCKPOT BEANS 1 can red kidney beans 1 can chick peas (garbonzo beans) 1 can butter beans 1 can baby limas 1 can pork & beans 1 pound bacon 2 onions 1 cup sugar 1 cup brown sugar 1 cup catsup 2 tbs prepared mustard Fry bacon, drain and crumble. Dice onion and fry in fat until transluscent. Drain beans. Mix all and cook 4-6 hours in crockpot on "low." VARIATIONS: replace bacon with leftover pieces of pork try different beans It is, without a doubt, the tastiest baked-bean type of recipe I have ever had. -- Lagniappe -- VNet @1207000 AC -- Farmington,Me. -- 207-778-6977 --
