4th of July Baked Beans

Ready to eat some really delicious food outside? Whether you gather around the grill or relax at the picnic table, it's finally the season for dining al fresco (and we couldn't be happier).

Our fresh picnic menu goes way beyond hot dogs and potato salad - although we love those, too - but we couldn't pass up a hearty pot of savory baked beans...hungry yet?

All five of the following recipes can be found in our Diamond Jubilee Cookbook, along with hundreds of others from employees, customers and the Lehman family themselves.
