ButterBeans

It’s a beautiful morning! I send all of you, my very best wishes for this day!

Yesterday, I had a hankering for some butterbeans and cornbread.

So the cornbread was not possible for me as I am out of meal and I also could have used my Dent corn and soaked it overnight with some Lime powder and water and finished by washing off the lime water 5-times and, then by grinding me up some beautiful cornmeal.

We, have the Mexican Cultured People to thank for this wonderful idea or you could go out and purchase a $500.00 grinding machine to make your cornmeal and grits if you so choose.

I, for one am very thankful. Well, forget about the cornbread, it didn’t happen!

As for the butterbeans, I had a 32-oz or less bag of frozen beans from Save A Lot. I, love my small chain, grocery store!

I used 6 slices of bacon from the freezer and started frying it up, in a large pot. I needed some more seasoning so back to the freezer, I went and pulled out a small bag of ham chunks.

It happened to be from my spiral brown sugar ham from Walmart, when they happened to have it on sale! But It still, made an awesome pot of beans. And it was also pre-cooked, when purchased.

So I added in two large chunks of ham, with the frying bacon.

Next, I opened up the bag of beans and added them to the pot. I also put in 1 tsp of Accent and 1 tsp of Cavender’s Greek Seasoning into the pot.

I filled the pot 3/4th full of water and set the timer for 1 hour and 20 minutes, on the #6 stove-burner setting so it could cook low and slow with a lid on the pot.

I, headed off to enjoy my mango butter, bubble bath soak with lots of rose petals floating in the hot water of the tub.

When I had had enough of this spa treatment, I very carefully got out of my very slippery tub!

I turned the stove burner up to #8 for the last 15 minutes of cooking.

And, I had a very enjoyable bowl of butterbeans, all by their selves for supper!

I, so hope that you try this! Thanks for stopping by. I, will post again, one of these days.
