Wow. Thatsalotta different beans.
That sounds like a great meal. I'll often cook some beans, add some meat to them and serve them on a couple slices of white bread. I'm going to give this a try. I think I'll go with the molasses instead of the honey.

Thanks CM.

Would this still taste good with out pork? How about some turkey bacon?

Sure, Pauline. You can substitute turkey bacon for pork bacon.
