I was craving white beans and ham and came across this easy recipe online. It calls for 6 cups of water but the first time I made it I used a box of vegetable stock with two cups of water. This 2nd time, I used low sodium chicken broth and two cups of water.

I wanted a recipe for the pounds of dry beans I have in my pantry. This was originally intended to be a side dish of beans, but it ended up being full of liquid and tasted great as a soup. This can easily be made vegetarian or vegan if desired by subbing out the butter and beef base with vegetarian substitutes.

I grew up eating beans love them

This is the best bacon and bean soup. It's made in just a few hours on the stove top with minimal work and is always a hearty and satisfying dinner.

This is a fantastic, filling (and cheap) meal to feed a herd or to make and freeze in batches for later! #dormfood

Pinto beans done in a crockpot makes an easy meal. It is good ol' comfort food for a cold day. Add some homemade cornbread to sop up all that goodness.

#CA2025 A friend brought this to one of our cookouts. Everyone loved it. You can slow cook in your crockpot or simmer on the stove. I like to use smoked brisket if I have any leftovers. Serve with tortilla chips, sour cream, jalapenos, cheese whatever suits you or eat without extras. This can be a meal by itself or a game day appetizer.

These beans were SO easy! I added less than half of the brown sugar because I don't like my beans very sweet. Yummy!

Awesome Cajun food! I loved it, grew up with it In my home, my step mom made killer red beans and rice(:
