Northern Beans - 2023

INGREDIENTS
PREPARATION
Notes from Joan: Terry says this is mostly a “throw together” meal and she adds ingredients based on looks. I had her write down how she makes it so I could recreate it.
This was a meal made by Ginny in the Shonk home when we were growing up. Definitely a comfort food that brings back memories!
