Used pork n beans with bacon - so I did not add any. I also softened the onion in the microwave with a pat of butter - used vidalia. These were awesome! Cooked one day ahead - then just re-heat for the big cook out!

Surprisingly delicious and wonderful! I did boil the greens for 30 min's as someone else suggested. Cannot wait to make again - thank you!

Mix butter with garlic powder to make a paste. Use 1 to 1.5 sticks of butter, rub under all skin Sprinkle seasoned salt after liquid is poured I added 1 tsp. garlic powder to the water along with the bouillon (use 1 TBSP), parsley and onion. Put fresh rosemary under the breast skin with the butter. Also placed a quartered lemon and quartered onion inside the cavity. Used a 12 lb. bird as recommended and it was done in 3.5 hours. Allowed it to rest 20 minutes before carving. Be sure to spray the foil with cookong spray. Use shallots instead of dried onion. Absolutely unbelievebale!! Christmas Dinner 08 THANK YOU!
