Mmmm Pinto Beans

from JoeUser Forums
I haven't cooked a pot of pinto beans in ages but today it just sounded good. They're on the stove cooking with some cubed salt pork, onion, and garlic. They been simmering on the stove for a couple of hours now and are smelling pretty damn good.

I think when they are getting close to ready later today I'll make some rice to go with them. I considered making cornbread, but my cornbread never does turn out as well as I would like, and I never have liked the mix stuff, so I think I'll just settle for regular bread and some rice. One of these days I'll get the hang of cornbread.

It's true that a pot of pinto beans and salt pork is pretty rustic fare, but sometimes that's what you're in the mood to have and can be a very enjoyable meal. Not gourmet, but satisfying.

I did the same thing just the other day. I put mine on in the crock pot and cooked 'em slooooow all day and had them for supper. Good stuff when you're in the mood for them.

Yeah they are good once in a while but not something I want to eat every day.

Yummy, that sounds sooooo good.

You need a good cast iron pan for corn bread.

That sounds awesome.. but I'll do the cornbread bit as I've had enough rice in the last 10 days. I've made cornbread for more years than I care to admit,and that sounds perfect for a Sunday.. So.. now Iknow what I want to eat tomorrow.

I agree that sometimes the basic foods are the best. beans, cornbread, a slice of onion... hmmmmmm.. maybe add some fried fish, and slaw... yeah I know.. i'm strange.. but I cook beans about every 5-6 weeks.

have a great weekend, think about joining the KAl for NYeve!

I love hot beans and buttered bread!  Sometimes the simple is what really hit the spot!
