Southern baked beans for a BBQ side dish: Try the recipe

In honor of summer BBQs, consider serving this mouthwatering side dish to your family and friends this Memorial Day Weekend.

Melanie Cagle, founder of The Cagle Diaries, says her husband loves to “fancy it up” when it comes to baked beans. So, this recipe “is loaded with ground meat and sausage, so it’s almost a meal unto itself,” the food blogger says. 

“The flavor of the sweet and smoky beans are really complemented by a good potato salad,” Cagle adds.
