Lisa’s Calico Beans
My mother's friend Lisa cooked for her church's after-school program (as did my mother). This was one of Lisa's signature after-school dishes, where a little can go a long, long way. I'm not exactly sure the significance of adding a can of pork and beans to a big dish of homemade pork and beans, but I definitely know that this dish works!
