Ok! Last but not least . . . homemade baked beans! This is the final recipe that goes with the Summer BBQ meal I made. Served with grilled corn on the cobb, kale cesar salad, grilled brussel sprouts w tahini yogurt sauce, and BBQ tempeh strips. We loved this meal!  (Not to pick favorites, but I think these baked beans were amazing)
