Had to make some beans in about 3 hours today (including going to HEB). Quickly looked up the epic B-1 bean recipe. (Which is actually on the Outdoor Board)

Damn good 2 hour beans.

I added ham hocks (cooked down in bacon grease I already had) cuz ham hocks are a must for me, and I just grabbed the HEB chopped cilantro, onions, jalapeños, and opted for some canned diced tomatoes. Bush's Pintos from a can come out damn tasty in 2 hours. Clamato is a secret good substitute for broth.

Best possible beans in 2 hours. As good as any you slave 24 hours over.

Carry on.

I like to add chicken thighs when making this in the winter and it makes a comforting and hearty meal.

Edit: OH! And collard greens.

Next time you cook up a pot of beans or greens try using a smoked turkey leg instead of ham hocks. Have always used ham hocks but after using turkey legs I may never go back to ham hocks.

We use smoked turkey wings as a substitute for smoked ham hocks on most everything(wife wont eat pork). Just made a pot of crowder peas last night with smoked turkey wing, celery, onion, red pepper and serrano; added diced zucchini about 30 minutes before ready to eat. We simmer it all in a pot in home made chicken stock for a few hours until the meat is able to be pulled off the wings.

Yessir. I strained the beans. I don't care for that murky juice stuff they're in.

I make these regularly and always drain and rinse

Also I use Zing Zang instead of clamato. It's a bit thicker and gives a bit more depth of flavor as opposed to the thinner watery clamato.

An instant Pot is a game changer when it comes to cooking dry beans. An hour or less from start to finish and no pre-soaking necessary.

Thank you! I made them once and did NOT drain the beans, so my results were not the greatest.

Thank you for that information! Personally, I love Clamato, but my wife has a SEVERE shellfish allergy, and so I've held off on making the beans. I will take your suggestion and use that product instead. Thanks again!

Have a pot on right now. I always drain and rinse beans as well.

I've never used Clamato. Akways sub low sodium V-8 since I usually have it on hand. May give Z-Z a try next time. Good suggestion.

They're even better smoked. Don't cook after assembly, just 4hrs on the smoker with a quick stir once an hour.

So good.

I have an instapot and agree. They are great for making beans. I also use for making yogurt and perfect hard boiled eggs. I don't really care for "regular" food cooked in the instapot. I find I have other ways to cook that I prefer whether its oven, grill, airfryer, saute pan, etc.

These crowder peas, I buy fresh/frozen at HEB. They aren't dried beans at all.

I made them a couple years ago and must have messed them up because everyone on here says how good they are but I don't care for them. I'll need to try them again.

Love ZZ for Bloody Marys but I sure wish it came in low sodium. It has a stupid amount of salt.

I don't drain either. I like the consistency with the liquid, especially when treating it like a soup.

Or drain them , put some lard in a cast iron skillet, put in the beans when hot and go to work with a potato masher...refried cajun red beans are good also
