Bounty of Beans

78F/overcast/calm/Indiana USA/ Beans from our garden are finally in full swing. I am not sure what variety HeHimself and WorkerWorker planted, but they sure work up nice. Even the bigger ones cook up good, not tough. 

The recipe for Smothered Beans is below.

There is a corn pudding in the crockpot, and a meat loaf goes into the oven along with the beans. Comfort food. What's on your menu?
