Mik Lurch Baked Beans

Mik Lurch was a well-known tackle store in northwest Indiana. Though known for its occasional fish fry, most came for owner Mike Starcevich's mouth-watering baked beans. This is an excellent side dish to serve with—fish,ribs, or chicken, or almost anything—and leaves your guests wanting more!
