Beans KY style

              
               We all eat beans around here. They're simple, thrifty, nutritious, delicious and very filling.
               Try a pot of them simmering all day.



                                                                       Beans and Cornbread



Begin with dry pinto beans and add lots of water and boil. Drain the water off the beans.
Fill pot or crock pot with water and add the beans. For extra flavor add a ham bone and other flavors
such as salt and pepper or hot seasonings or Cajun seasoning. Simmer all day until the beans are tender.
Thats it for a great tasting fulfilling dish.

For the cornbread, decide if you like sweet or unsweet cornbread. If you like sweet, just use the jiffy
mixes. If you like the unsweet flavor they're other brands that aren't as sweet or grab a cookbook
and mix up your own batter.
Add extras  to the corn bread batter like hot peppers, onions, shredded cheese. A cast iron skillet is
great for a crispy crust on the cornbread. Just melt butter in the bottom of the skillet in the oven
while the oven is pre-heating and add the corn bread batter to the hot skillet.




A perfect meal.
