This crowd-pleasing recipe
features Tennessee Gold, a versatile premium gourmet grilling, flavoring and
cooking sauce proudly produced and distributed right here in Haywood County by
Patsy and Brenda Hardister. This sauce makes all the difference in taste in
recipes and on meats of all kinds. Experience the tasty uniqueness of Tennessee
Gold in this recipe and use the remaining contents of the bottle on an entrée
of chicken, pork, beef, fish, wild game, or anything else imaginable. The bean
recipe readily converts to a hearty vegetarian dish by substituting vegetarian
pork and beans and omitting the pepperoni (or smoked sausage).
