Beans, beans ... good for your heart


It's been cold and spitting snow for the past two days, so I figured tonight would be a good night to cook a big pot of pinto beans and a skillet of cornbread.

There're few meals that are as simple to make as Pot o' Beans. Soak a pound of beans in a big pot while you're at work (6-8 hours); rinse beans and then cover with water; throw in some seasoning meat (country ham, salt pork, ham hock, etc.); add salt and pepper; and simmer for 2 hours. Serve with cornbread, chopped onions, hot sauce, and Beano®.

Mmmm, mmmm, good!
