This is a delicious, savory, quick meal that my mom used to make when I was little and it even won a local contest once. It's great with a salad and some hot buttered bread. Enjoy!

These beans are flavored with just the right amount of chili powder to make it everyone's favorite

The only problem is this recipe probably was once Hawaiian Beans with bacon or spam and pineapple, but I had it first when the cook cut out the pineapple and I adapted it to my vegetarian taste and left out the meat. Either way, it is still delicious and loved by vegetarians and meat eaters a like. My boyfriend's favorite. And our little dog loves it too. 😆

I, for the life of me, cannot cook beans on the stovetop without them being crunchy or mushy. The crockpot cooks them perfectly!

Well, this is technically the 4th meal with the steak and 2nd for the pork butt. Over the Easter holiday we had a cook out. My husband used the last of the sirloin to make his baked beans. I wish he’d give me the recipe lol my daughter took some pork butt and the rest went into the pot with the leftover beans. Very hearty and very delicious. Something easy to throw together in a couple of minutes when you have a Fridge full of leftovers.

When there’s a little bit of dry black beans, a few baby Limas, and a tad bit of pintos left and there’s not enough of one to cook for a meal. Ya mix’em all together! Throw in some ham, a lil bit’o onion and garlic…. Yum! Tasty!

Raised in South Texas in a family of 6, this dish was a staple growing up. It is inexpensive and oh so yummy! My mother would serve this with a batch of biscuits and there was nothing left when we were through. It is still one of my favorite comfort meals to this day.

Borracho beans are mexican tradition!! They're amazing! For anyone new trying them out, you cannot taste the beer. It is a bit spicy but I promise just a bit. If you want it more spicy, add in another Serrano pepper.

Growing up I remember my mom would always have homemade beans ready, for breakfast, or lunch or dinner. There was always some ready. My mom would freeze her beans also to have them ready for a fast meal. She showed me how to make these growing up so I could pass down the recipe to my kids one day.

This makes a lot of hush puppies if using small scoops. May make as big or small as you like. I use a very small ice cream scoop. I think it is a tablespoon size scoop. It makes them bite size. But you can use soup or teaspoon to drop in oil as well.

This is a great recipe for any cookout. Always a crowd favorite!

A hearty dish for a cold day and night. Served with my saffron bread and vinegar hot sauce.
