Baked beans with Mustard greens

I am making one of our favorite new meals today and so I thought I would share!  This is a super yummy way to do beans, and my son loves it. He will even eat the mustard greens in it...it is truly a miracle! The best part is that it is packed full of vitamins and fairly low in calories. Great for a potluck, and even the veggie haters will love it!
