Just like Mama used to make in the foothills of NC! Plain, simple yet really tasty. The cornbread and sliced onions complete the dish.

    Very good beans,I also prefer smoked ham hocks.By accident I discovered how to make ranch style beans with this recipe by adding a package of dry enchilada seasoning.They taste so much like the canned ranch style beans and great with cornbread. Good for a change once in awhile.Thanks for the recipe!

    These beans were really something different than what I am used to eating but I really liked them. I used dried pinto beans and used a pressure cooker to speed up the process ( 1 1/4 hr at 10 lbs pressure). Served this recipe with corn bread and buttermilk. Tasty! Thanks for posting, JimB. =)

    I think I've found the secret recipe for pinto beans...you know, the one my mother-in-law must've used. These had a nice texture and the right amount of "soup"...unlike my usual attempt at pintos. Glad you posted this one, Jim.
