THREE BEAN CASSEROLE



Three Bean Casserole image

My husband and I are retired farmers. Our main crop was wheat, and we began growing beans when our son joined the operation. When our church cookbook was revised a couple years ago, this recipe was included among the favorites. -Georgia Hennings, Scottsbluff, Nebraska

LIGHT THREE-BEAN CASSEROLE



Light Three-Bean Casserole image

"This recipe came from a family reunion of mostly Mennonites. It is over 30 years old," Jane Bone shares from Cape Coral, Florida. "You can choose different beans, according to your family's tastes, but keep the pork and beans as a base. I often take a big pot of these to large gatherings or pitch-in-suppers, and everyone enjoys them."

You can also add wheat germ to the corn bread.
