Reviews
I cooked these beans in an oven-proof skillet, it was easy to make and to clean. Served it with sliced bread.
Simple and good. I really liked the added flavor of dill. I actually used half dill relish and half sweet relish out of personal preference and that was a nice mix. Overall good recipe and one I would make again.
