Soak?

Why take the fun out of beans?

When you're over 60, never trust a fart!

Beans,beans good for your hart,the more you eat the more you fart, the more you fart the better you feel so eat them beans for every meal.

You can’t beat a good bean fart.

15 bean soup is one of my favorites, washed 5 times after soaking overnight, then add ham, and onion and rice, slow cook for 4 hours then add 1 can diced tomato and cook for another hour. Most favorite though is pintos cooked with bacon slices, a can of Bud added an hour before finishing. (Obviously followed with fresh, hot cornbread and butter)

Never give your German Shepherd some beans with his food. He'll produce eye burners in no time.

If you're willing to pay a little more then try smoked ham shanks instead of ham hocks/pork hocks. Very delicious in bean dishes which are slow cooked. In California I get them at Smart & Final.

I wasn't much more than knee high to a grass hopper when my next door neighbor cured hog meat. I sure wish he was still around!

15 Bean soup is a favorite around here. We had it last week and some sweet Italian sausage was added into the fray. Needless to say it did not last very long. That's one of those recipes that one bowl will fill you but two is necessary because it tastes so darn good!

Can vary the ingredients to suit your own tastes. I like layers of flavors but simple can taste good, too.

Can vary ingredients to suit your taste I make everything a one time only, as I cook by the seat of my pants and sometimes have more or less and lots of let’s try a little of this. From pot roast to stew to fried rice to paella I can’t seem to make the same twice in a row
