So I know you guys are experiencing the same cold weather we are so last night it was beans and cornbread. I boiled some pintos for about 2 hours. Then added sauteed bacon, onions, and garlic. Added diced fresh tomatoes and diced poblanos. Salt, pepper, cumin, and smoked paprika. Simmered for another hour. Served with cornbread made straight from the jiffy blue box. Jon grew up eating beans for every meal so I don't think he liked it as much as I did but there's something so comforting about it.
All I think of when I hear beans for dinner is when we were kids and we would have those white beans with ham that stunk up the whole house! Talk about eating all of your dinner, the only way I could make it through was to drown the beans in ketchup. In hindsight, I bet they tasted OK and I really enjoy beans now. I have started making some brown rice and eating it with black beans for lunch during the week.
