Just ate me two big bowls of homemade pinto beans w/ half a cast iron skillet of cornbread.
Used the bone from our Christmas ham.
Good eatin'
Was gonna mix'em with great northerns but some sissy wouldn't eat'em then.
City folk and all. Hahahahaha!
So gotta ask.…
How you fix yours?
I've always wanted to try neck bones.
Just can't find them.
I've always had a ham hock cooked in with brown beans. I even cook Italian Green Beans with a ham hock.
Cornbread : no sugar - no whole kernel corn - no cream style corn - no jalapenos :biggrin .. and I prefer cornbread fried like a pancake, but oven baked in a iron skillet or cast iron cornstick pan will do nicely.
Yes sir! Fried cornbread is the best.Quote:

I got some cornbread! I got some cornbread!
And you ain't got none!
Cuz you on da welfare!
You can't afford it. You can't afford it!
My brother-in-law made a big pot of pintos for our annual Christmas get-together. He had some hamhock in there with some onion.......cooked them all day until they kinda had a gravy all over them. He does them right!
Now if I could only figure out how my grandma used to cook cabbage, I would be set. I have never in my life found anyone who could cook cabbage down like Mama Flossie did. We lost her in 1995 at the age of 87 and I've not had good cabbage since. I know she used bacon grease and she always put a little sugar in there, but I can't get it right.
I absolutely love pinto beans. They are my favorite bean, and there are times that I have eaten them with meals every day for a month or more.
Last year one of my toes started hurting. The next day it hurt bad. The next day I couldn't stand for even the bed sheet to touch it. Went to a doc and he said I had gout. Got some meds and it cleared up. They told me what foods caused gout. On the list, pinto beans. I have eaten every food on the list multiple times and just my luck, the beans are the trigger food for me. I can eat a small portion of them and be fine, but if I eat a bowl of them, I'll have a gout attack. No more pintos for me. It's either that or take gout meds for the rest of my life and I'm not doing that.
Beans with bacon or fat back pieces, sliced jalapeno's and a onion. Ground cummin, to taste. Bread by Jiffy Mix. I've made all kinds of bread over the years, but can't beat Jiffy, so why try...it's cheap and easy. Pintos are my favorite side for Speck dinner's.
Tomorrow's New Years, so making Blackeyes.
:fish
Jiffy Mix has sugar in it. Sugar is okay in deserts, but doesn't belong in cornbread. They eat that stuff in Russia. LOL
Jus call me Boris then!Quote:

I’m fixing a pot of potato soup with fried cornbread. Had hog jowl, black eye peas and cooked cabbage for lunch at JoJo’s Cafe.

how do you fry cornbread. got me some chili cooking for tomorrow and cornbread is about the best thing I can think of with chili.
Skillet, little bit of oil in the bottom. Get oil hot then drop cornbread batter in by the spoonful and press it flat with the spoon. If you make the batter thin enough it will level itself out like pancakes. I cook it that way once in a blue moon but it's too greasy for me.
like corn fritters ?
Those Pinto Beans some good stuff. Furflyin you're right a bout the gout one bad cousin of Arthur. Anything that is high protein that is good for your body is bad for gout and beans are right there.

I prefer homemade to the box.
Where I'm from Shawnee Mills corn meal is my go to. Instead of vegetable oil or shortnin, we use bacon fat. Brown beans are cooked on the stove all day with hog jowls or fatback. If you have to add more water make it hot. That keeps the beans from cooling off and makes thick bean juice
