I have an awesome black bean recipe I've posted here before.  Bacon makes everything better, including beans.

Bacon/bacon fat is a staple of southern cooking (unless you're Paula Deen  )

I love beans.

Great northerns, Navy beans, black beans, pintos.

Not too crazy about lima beans, though.

The secret to good lima beans is cooking them long enough (low and slow) and serve hot with butter and salt.

My mother never cooked them long enough and they always turned out with the consistency of wood chips.  A neighbor in North Carolina showed me how to make them right.

This is a soup recipe but the ingredients are the same.  Adobo seasoning is ground guajillo chiles, garlic, cumin, and salt.

4 cans (15 oz. each) Black Beans
3 slices, rough chopped Bacon, Sliced
1 tbsp. Olive Oil
1 bottle (12 oz.) Beer
½ cup Water
1 tbsp. Sherry, Dry
¾ cup Onions, diced finely
½ cup Green peppers, diced finely
2 tbsp. Garlic
¼ tsp. Ground Cumin
2 tsp. Tabasco sauce
To Taste Adobo seasoning, salt and pepper

I'm the only one I know that likes lima beans.  

EDIT: Looks like Chris_ might like them also - that makes two.

I like 'em.  You just have to cook them right.

Beans, Beans,
Good for the heart.
The more you eat,

I'm Cuban. When do we not have beans on anything? Rice, beans. Pulled pork, beans. Cereal, beans.


We need all those extra gases to float to America.

Now, I LOVE beans, just not in my chili.  I make a killer Navy Bean Soup.

Beans, beans,
The musical fruit.
That makes you toot,
The more you toot,
The better you feel,

So let's have beans with every meal!!!!

"THE BIG BANG THEORY".....about chili:

Prya:  "Sheldon, would you like some chili?"

Sheldon:  "Does it have beans in it?"

Prya:  "Yes..."

Sheldon:  "Then it's not chili."

Prya:  "Sheldon, do you want some or not?"

Sheldon:  "Yes, please."     (Pyra hands Sheldon the bowl and Sheldon takes a bite)

Sheldon:  "Umm....this is good....whatever it is."

Every fart is just another way for a man to tell his wife he loves her.

How can you tell if a lady farts? Her stockings swell up.

[Karin]

Jeff's Bean Soup recipe sounds real good.  I'd add a little diced carrot.  I like the color with bean soup. 

The pizza pinto beans.....um, not so much. 

Black bean soup is really, really good. 

Colonelcarrots,  at your floating from Cuba joke. 

A form of beans I hate:  Three Bean Salad.  And I hate garbonzo beans.  Yuck.

I don't like Great Northern or Navy beans. Pinto beans, black beans, black eyed peas & even Lima beans are fine by me. They ALL have to be cooked properly, though.
