Boston Terriers

It's only a few weeks into vacation and my family is already tired of "summer" foods.    I love the ease of tossing a few burgers or hot dogs on the grill, so I have to find ways to make them more interesting.     Since the challenge ingredient on Taste of Home Cook's Corner is beans this week, I thought I'd give these Boston Terriers a try.   

I used a can of Navy beans that I drained and rinsed well.    I chopped up my bacon too much, next time I would leave it in bigger pieces, it pretty much disappeared in the final product.    Overall, this was a nice, easy from scratch-ish BBQ baked bean.
