Let me get the "I
love Depo’s baked beans" train started! I’m the biggest fan Depo has ~ I
cook for the fire department and if I can’t sing his praises loud enough let me
have senator Easley help me out…..no lie! He will tell you he loves the LG fire
department because they serve the best food in the state (quoted in the Tulsa World).
- What did he eat that
made him say that? The two single things were Depo’s beans and Sugar bug’s
peach cobbler. I’m going to post the large version for you (this is what I make for the FD).
- Oh ~ I would baked
these in the oven the day before……then put them in the roaster the next day to
heat, they are really the best…..I always made
DH’s grandmothers beans from scratch……this is the next best thing….****I use Splenda brown
sugar and diet coke ~ couldn’t be better!
