This is a simple yet amazing recipe that my mother-in-law made up and gave me that is named after my hubby's friend in High School who was OBSESSED with it. The best part about this one is you can feed a hugeee crowd incredibly easy! :)

    However the best part of this dish is there are a LOT of ways you can mess around with it and make it have a million diff flavors every time. Such as using diff flavors or Baked Beans and BBQ Sauce. Also adding in a few spices and flavors at the end, My hubs is partial to adding in some Worshteshire Sauce (just a teaspoon give or take) and some Garlic Powder!! You can also double the recipe really easy and it's usually my Go-To meal when I have a bunch of the hubs Marine boys over for dinner! Hope you guys like it - and a special thanks to my awesome mother in law for the recipe :)
