SOUTHERN BUTTER BEANS, MILLIE'S
Delicious southern butter beans made from dry beans. This recipe is not only yummy but easy on the pocketbook. I like to save the fried bacon for a salad topping, but my husband likes them cooked in the beans. Either way these are sure to be a hit ! I will divide leftovers into freezer bags as sides for other meals. I hate...
