What is a standard side dish for you when you barbecue?
Especially in the summer when you are barbecuing almost every night. Summertime also brings people together more often for backyard BBQs and shared dinners.
I make baked beans. I have for years, and one of the nice things about baked beans is that the recipe is naturally gluten-free. Well, it is for my recipe.
My baked beans could literally be a whole meal on their own for beans are only one part of the dish – these have spolombo spicy sausages, jalapenos, bacon, chili paste, and molasses.
I cannot wait for you to try these. Yum!
