Hey 👋🏽 AB 🥰thanks so much for sharing, that’s how I like 👍🏽 my Pinto Beans 🫘💥💥💥💥💥💥just keep bringing that Greatness 💥💥💥

[@sylviawilson972]

Thank you for the links. I've always ate good all my life. Also like you said thanks to grandma. I do believe in supporting small business . One item or two at a time. Be blessed

I am trying to purchase 2 of your cookbooks for my brothers birthday and it’s saying that it doesn’t ship to Florida? How do I buy your book?

[@1576bmoc]

are your spices out of stock?

[@thouston0]

I use my Instant Pot now to cook beans, no-pre-soak needed. If I have time, I will cook, either smoked turkey or ham hock first in 5 cups of chicken broth, with the same spices and onion that you use for 30mins and let the IP slow vent. I take out the meat, remove the meat from the bone, add the picked over,and rinsed bean to the liner, lock the lid and set to cook for 70mins..but if I don't I just add the beans at the beginning..

[@Skoben2000]

"If you come in here and take a look, there's not a lot of ingredients. People tend to overthink it!!' Isn't that the truth? You hit the nail right on the head. Sometimes the best things are so simple. A few quality ingredients, along with proper preparation with care and pride, you can create some of the most amazing and flavorful food. Simplicity! You let the ingredients speak for them selves and not overdo it with a ton of herbs and spices. Here I can see you're really highlighting the beans allowing them to take center stage and showcase them. GREAT recipe and technique!

@Starshines408 my Mom used to say “put that pot on and warm up the house” good memories.

I was raised on pinto beans with ham/salt pork and corn bread. We ate that at least twice a week. Sometimes mom would substitute navy beans. Still love them.

[@SmokinandGrillinwithAB]

Sounds like you have great home cooking memories!

[@shrizor]

That's how my dad taught me to make beans! I really like the idea of using turkey instead of pork once in awhile. The only difference between the way we cook this is that I like to add red chili flakes to "kick it up a notch."

[@terrilhill1024]

WOW!! I wanted to add chilli powder in mine, but I wasn't sure. You think it would be ok? 🤷

[@jollyjohnthepirate3168]

Just make sure that you bring those beans up to a boil for at least 10 minutes. Beans contain a poison that causes severe gastroenteritis. Slow cookers may not get the beans hot enough to eliminate this toxin and are not recommended for cooking beans....unless you boil them first.

[@greeneggslamb9336]

I want to put mine in a crockpot on low overnight. Tell me, can I do that if I've also soaked the beans overnight? Will they overcook if they've been pre-soaked?

What is really good in frijoles is red Chile from the ristras we grow make here (Red Chile Pods) or red Chile powder from New Mexico. I also like adding Chicos (dried roasted corn) to my beans really gives great flavor. But adding turkey to beans is a new one to me. I can see the health benefits to it. Gonna have to try it!

[@davidmarshall8628]

Here's something to consider about the 33% less sodium broth. It's pretty high in potassium, probably from the use of potassium chloride as in other salt substitutes. It has a flavor note that some of us can't abide. I prefer to use "no salt added" type products that are low in sodium and use no substitutes. Then I can control the sodium level by adding my own regular salt as necessary without the metallic twang of the potassium chloride substitute.

[@lorrainegreen6782]

Thanks for this info. I never understood why low sodium has a weird taste. I like your suggestion of using no salt broths and adding your own salt.

[@gregnixon1296]

I prefer the no-salt broths also. I add flavors with fats, which are not as bad for you as the media says.
