40 oz. jar Northern beans
1 3/4 c. granulated sugar

DIETITIAN'S NOTE:

One way to boost dietary fiber is by eating cooked peas and beans often. This is an easy recipe to help you do that. Since bacon is high in fat and cholesterol, and also a key ingredient in the recipe, those wishing to restrict their cholesterol intake should have a small portion.
