Ingredients

DRY BEANS, YOUR CHOICE OF PINTO OR LIMA (BABY OR LARGE) I USE THE CAMELLIA BRAND DRY BEANS

3 LARGE YELLOW ONIONS ( CHOPPED OR DICED)

CAN ALSO ADD 1 -2 CUPS OF GREEN ONIONS (CHOPPED), I USE THE GREEN ONIONS ALONG WITH THE YELLOW ONIONS

5 SLICES OF JALEPENO PEPPERS

SEASONING MEAT (YOUR CHOICE OF BACON, SMOKED PORK, HAM, HAM HOCK , SALT MEAT OR A PORK CHOP)

SEASONING ( I USE NATURES SEASONING)

3 TABLESPOONS OF SUGAR OR SPLENDA (CAN USE MORE, DEPENDS ON YOUR TASTE)

PARLSEY

BLACK PEPPER (TO YOUR TASTE)

SALT (TO YOUR TASTE).. ADD SALT TOWARDS THE END OF THE COOKING PROCESS)

GARLIC POWDER (TO YOUR TASTE)

2 JALEPENOS SLICES (OPTIONAL)

A PINCH OF CAYENNE PEPPER (OPTIONAL)

YOU DONT WANT YOUR BEANS TO HOT TO THE TASTE OR TOO SWEET, SO KEEP TASTE TASTING YOUR BEANS

Directions

SOAK YOUR BEANS OVER NIGHT, FOR A FEW HOURS OR YOU CAN PAR BOIL THEM (BRING TO A BOIL, DRAIN WATER AND ADD WATER AGAIN)

ONCE YOUR BEANS ARE SOAKED, CLEANED OR PAR BOILED, ADD WATER TO THE HALFWAY POINT IN YOUR POT

ADD YOUR ONIONS, SEASONINGS, MEAT AND THE OPTIONALS

BRING YOUR WATER LEVEL TO ALMOST THE TOP.. BRING TO A BOIL

BOIL FOR A FEW MINUTES

BRING YOUR HEAT DOWN TO MEDIUM. HALFWAY COVER THE POT WITH THE LID

KEEP CHECKING THE WATER LEVEL SO BEANS WONT STICK. ADD WATER TO YOUR DESIRED CONSISTENCY. SOME LIKE THEIR BEAN JUICE THICK AND SOME LIKE IT THIN..

COOK THESE BEANS FOR 3-5 HOURS OR UNTIL BEANS ARE VERY TENDER

SERVE OVER RICE WITH CORNBREAD OR JUST SERVE WITH CORNBREAD.

IN MY PINTO BEANS ABOUT 30 MINUTES BEFORE THEY ARE DONE, I ALSO ADD SLICED SMOKEY HOLLOW CAJUN SAUSAGE. THIS IS GREAT OVER RICE

I COOK MY BEANS IN A CAST IRON POT BUT YOU CAN USE YOUR FAVORITE POT.

I ALSO COOK MY PURPLE HULL PEAS THE SAME WAY

DRY BEANS CAN BE SERVED ALSO WITH SLICED TOMATOES, FRIED OKRA, CHICKEN (FRIED OR BAKED), A ROAST, SMOTHERED POTATOES AND SQUASH.

I HAVE ALSO PUT A HALF CAN OF ROTEL OR DICED TOMATOES IN MY PINTO BEANS FOR A DIFFERENT TAKE ON OCCASION.

Oh, you are definitely from Louisiana; my mom always added a couple of tablespoons of sugar to her beans as I do to this day. There is just nothing like a pot of pinto beans, rice and cornbread!
