I started making this for all cookouts b/c it is easy and delicious. We have vegetarians in the family, so sometimes we have to make without the bacon, which is not nearly as good, but still a good recipe.

This appealing five-bean dish packs a protein punch and is the perfect side for a summer cookout. Don't count on leftovers because it will be a huge hit with your guests.
