Another pot simmering away.

If you are going to eat "Beans and rice, rice and beans" per Dave Ramsey while unemployed in a pandemic, might as well eat some damn good beans!

Used this recipe for black eyed peas on Jan 1.

Very tasty!

B-1. I know our paths crossed back in the day. I've been using this recipe since you posted it. Served it dozens of times. Everyone thinks they are amazing

Bump

Made a batch this weekend. Turned out great. Added half a link of sausage and doubled the bacon. Also only two serranos and I seeded them.

Is that a michelada I spy in Ag 07's pic?

Another callback for the recipe. We've been making these for years and always had a big crowd to enjoy them with. With the last year and not visiting family or friends, my wife and I decided the full size pot is too much fiber for my system, if you get what I mean.
We have cut the recipe in half, with one 27 ounce can of beans and a 12 ounce can of Clamato juice. We just half the rest of the ingredients and seed the Serrano peppers. Since she doesn't like the bacon in the beans, we saut the onions, Serrano peppers and cilantro in bacon grease and add ham chunks to the pot.
We get 2-3 servings each, which keeps us from having to store them any longer. Many thanks to B-1 83 for sharing the recipe.

One other thing, is to remind anyone that is eating them with you for the first time, let them know about the Clamato juice; a couple of years ago we made a batch and casually mentioned the Clamato, only to find out my brother's wife has a severe allergy to shellfish that we were not aware of.

I've made this recipe. Decent, but mine is much better. I could never share mine though. Sorry.

Making some tonight!

Bump...because i had to share this recipe tonight...

Never thought of adding sausage to these. That may be a game changer.

They are great either way, but I prefer the sausage version over the bacon version (TWSS). Adding a little chorizo makes a good batch too.

We'll definitely try the sausage next batch. My wife doesn't like the bacon in the beans, so we use bacon grease to saute the veggies and throw some ham in the pot. Slovacek's will be the best solution as we both love it. Thanks for the idea.

Hatch chilis make everything better!

Any of you tried doing these on a smoker with the lid off to add some smoke flavor to it?

I think that may be really good, but I'm wondering if it would dry the beans out?

I wouldn't think it would dry them out with the Clamato juice in them.

When we grill chicken or steaks and wait for the wood to burn down some, I'll put a link of sausage and a package of hot dogs off to the side. It kills time and provides pre-cooked meats for other meals like this. It gets a nice smoky flavor in the sausage and goes great in red beans and rice too.

Got'em on right now. Substituted 1 jalapeno and 2 Hatch green chilies for the serranos cause my wife is a lightweight.

No cilantro. Can't stand that stuff, but added a dash of garlic powder.

I figure all y'all can't be wrong...



F it. These damn pictures only post about half the time. Tired of screwing with it.

We just use bacon grease saved from cooking bacon for breakfast.

Agree in regards to draining the beans; it does provide more flavor from the other ingredients.

We do seed the serano peppers. Too much inconsistency in heat.

Agree on fresh tomatoes too. Blanch them to remove the skin and they are even better.

Plan is to try the fido beans at the FTA tailgate this Saturday!

Any updates to the recipe?
