We don't eat beans because we are poor; rather, because beans are a comfort food and we like legumes. Yesterday, I cooked a pot of black eye peas with bacon, spinach, and extras. I will be eating it for the rest of the week. Peas and beans are high in fiber. Cook those beans girl!
Best reason to eat anything, because we like it! One of my favorite meals of my mothers was her navy beans with a ham bone and cornbread. I’m almost 69 and it’s still a comfort meal.
Here's a secret my mother in law used to use to reduce the gas effect: when you are washing and sorting your beans count them. Always use 239 beans. Because one more would make it too farty!
You are doing such a critical service to the people this country. So many of the young people never learned to cook in this manner. They grew up in Good times. You're a very good teacher and keep up the good work. People need you. Thank you for your service.
My mom always smashed up a coffee cup full of beans and put it back in the pot and stir them in made it a bit thicker I am 65 and still remember it!!!!!! Well done girl
Recipes like this one make me think about how as a kid it took me a long time to realize we were poor cause we always had such good food. Even as a kid who loved to cook and started helping when I was 3, I didn’t know the price of ingredients. I just knew we always had good food. As an adult I’m like “heck yeah delicious cheap food and it’s good for you”
Best supper ever!!!!! Thanks for sharing with us. My grammy taught me how to make soup beans when I was a young teen. She was out of greenup kentucky. An hour before they were done she put a pinch of soda in them. I asked why the soda and she said it kills the farts....I still put a pinch of baking soda in my beans!!! Grandparents teach us the best things!!!!
I was never taught this about the baking soda but had an issue with the outside of the beans not getting soft. I think they were older beans. I decided I had to try something or the beans would be trashed so I put about a tablespoon in the crockpot. The beans turned out great. Since then I just decided I'd add it to the pot towards the end before I add the salt. Thank you for your comment. It all makes sense now. Your Grammy sounds like a wise woman.
The baking soda helps soften the beans. To kill the gas, soak beans overnight and discard water. Soak in fresh water until you are ready to cook. I think you'd have to greatly shorten the Instapot cooking time of this recipe if your beans are soaked.
I absolutely LOVE soup beans! We grew up on them as well. Once a week we had them and my mom mixed her own. Here we get them free from the Food Bank that is free to all in our area. I collect all the different beans and mix my own up. A couple of variations I do is use smoked turkey wings in the pot, the same things she said as well. I also slow cook them in the slow cooker all day because, she was right, the longer you cook them the better they taste and creamer they are. So, if you want them for the next day, look and wash them, put them in the crock pot before you go to bed. Do what she has done and add what you want to them and let them cook ALL NIGHT. while you sleep. BAMB, soup beans for the next day's lunch and dinner! I do this ALL THE TIME.
You provide MORE than a COOKING video, you provide ENTERTAINMENT!!!! I love you and your family! I travel the US in my RV and would LOVE to visit you! Marie ♥️
We eat soup beans with cornbread, cottage cheese and horseradish. So good. Every year in Christmas Eve we make a big batch to celebrate my grandpa’s birthday - he has been gone since 2012 and the tradition lives on. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful recipe.
An okie girl her. Cooking beans right now. I've learned you can dehydrate beans! So I've cooked big pot(it's just me) with no meat just seasoned up good, dehydrate some and am making my own mres for emergencies. I can't afford to buy them and these are real cheap. Some I add dryed veggies, dryed rice ect and make full meals to seal. Tell Dusty I got the idea from him and the boys taste tests. You can even dehydrate noodles at home! Who knew. I'm having so much fun with this and don't take up so much space and easy peasy to cook. Thank you Brooke, Dusty and boys.
That's so great! So many people don't realize if you dehydrate cooked beans, cooked rice, or cooked pasta, you can just reconstitute them with hot water. 😊❣️
I'm in central Illinois and we are very close to Amish community too. They run a bulk food store and that's where I get my ham base seasoning!! Really helps with flavor when you're short on the ham or hocks. You are right when you say that it lasts a long time. It just takes a pinch or two for a whole pot of beans.
YASSS, girl! I grew up on meals like this too. My momma lives 7.5 hours from me now, so I cherish her homemade canned chow chow. Do y’all like cowboy candy?
You are so blessed to not have picky eaters. There are to many foods I don't make because my husband doesn't like them. Thank goodness my kids grew up to be adventurous eaters.
@@tanyaparker6296 I brought mine up to either eat what I made or go hungry... they went hungry. You can try all you want, doesn't mean all kids will eat the stuff. Till they graduated High School or turned 18 which ever came first they had to take a BITE of what ever we were eating that night. Though once they got to higher middle school or High school and I flat out KNEW they just weren't going to eat it... their option was to eat what I made or go make PB&J Sandwiches... they made sandwiches lol. I wasn't going to make them do homework and or study on empty stomachs all night long cause they just didn't like something. My mother and step father taught me a lesson I will NEVER forget as long as I live... you can not FORCE a child to eat something they don't like. They tried, my brother ate it, and promptly got sick all over the table... all the time saying sorry cause he was terrified they'd make him eat it again cause he didn't keep it down the first time. (they didn't) WE NEVER had to eat spinach again if we didn't like it. They didn't KNOW we weren't eating it and giving it all to my baby brother who loved the daylights out of it, and caught us one night shoving it on his plate.
My husband is also a picky turd. I know though,if I only introduced good food to my kids that is what they would have liked . A one year old isn't fussy till it's parents make them so. The fact humanity survived before chicken nuggets and other fast food screams that. Us parents are the problem.
Brooke I love beans and make them in many different ways , but my very favorite is making my pot of beans, make a skillet of cornbread, chop up onion and Jalapeños to top off my bowl of beans ! Delicious !! God bless ❤️🙏🙋🏻
I do mine in the slow cooker. I cook up some cornbread . When done top a slice of cornbread with a heaping spoon of beans and put a little bit of ketchup on top. That was how my Papa ( my grandfather) ate his. I am 61 and still eat them this way. Love your show.
I cook some in my crockpot with smoke turkey..and always remember bacon grease you can freeze for seasoning as well..however I don’t salt before they are done
Living up here in Seattle, I made up some soup beans for Sunday dinner this week. I had some smoked turkey from last fall in the freezer to use up. Put my foot in those beans! Soooo good! Never underestimate a hood pot of beans.
I love about any kind of beans. We love pickled beets with ours. My mama was from Arkansas, and that's what I grew up with. Sometimes in the summer we had refrigerator onion and cucumber pickles, but I like chow chow, too. Pickled green tomatoes are yummy, too. I like black eyed peas and lentils too. Fried taters and o ions are the bomb, and hubby like fried fish if we have any. 😋👍
Good morning sweet lady. We sure do love us some home cooked beans, cornbread, and fried taters here in southern West Virginia. You are so darn cute. TFS God Bless.
When you fry taters, what shape do you cut them into? I'd like to try to make some. When I make hash browns I cube them and microwave potato cubes for 5 minutes and then pan fry. The microwave start speeds up the cooking and doesn't affect taste/texture. Shh my secret.
@@happycook6737 Sometimes I cubes them too and other times I like them in bigger slices. Depending on the size of the tater. Smaller ones I just leave them whole and slice them in circles. Those are my favorite. Larger ones I cut in have long ways and slice them that way. I prefer them cut in bigger chunks. I also sometimes add peppers and onions and fry them up in bacon grease. 👍
I made this same meal Monday night. The best! I did have a ham bone from Christmas in the freezer that I added to mine. Also, your little dance when you tasted it... made my entire day 🤣
My mamaw always made beans , cornbread, fried potatoes, and sausage with sourkraut or mackerel patties . Sometime she would make fried green tomatoes, but she always served sliced tomatoes and green onions or chopped onions
That has got to be my most favorite! I love it with crunchy cornbread and fried taters! I sometimes make salmon patties to go with it or sourkrout and kilbasa.. I never get tired of my soup beans. U guys have a wonderful blessed day!
We ate pintos, cabbage, chow chow and cornbread alot. If it was summer, we added some cantalope, sliced tomatoes and cut up fresh cucumbers in a vinegar/water/sugar mixture. You've inspired me to put some beans in the pressure cooker right now! (I canned all my pintos & white beans last week, so it'll have to be some large butterbeans. Yum! 😋) Thank you so much for sitting at the table and "chit-chatting" with us, as my family used to say ❤
My family always did Beans, Taters and Maters. Cubed potato home fries (oven or pan fried) then add a heap of creamy northern white beans, and top it with fresh diced tomatoes. Salt, pepper, maybe some hotsauce and a sprinkle of cheese if you're feeling fancy. So rib-sticking good.
I’ve always cooked my beans on the stove. To one bag of beans I add water, 1 clove of garlic, and a piece of onion. I first boil the water, then add the beans, cover with a lid, and cook them at medium low heat for about two hours stirring occasionally. I check them to see if they are soft, if so, I add 1 teaspoon of salt and cook them for about 30 more minutes. This is Mexican style🤒. When I want Ranchero Beans. I use mixed beans. I cook them for about 1 hour low heat covered with a lid. Then I add ham, chorizo, bell pepper, diced carrots, corn (makes bean soup sweeter, omit if desired), piece of onion, 1 garlic clove, 1 tspn chicken bouillon (to taste), salsa (if I have any) or sprinkle some paprika. Cool for about 2 more hours. My family loves this bean soup with corn tortillas, plain tostadas, or chips… yum!
We love to cook dried beans. I was taught to not add salt until the beans begin to become soft if added at beginning sometimes they won't get as tender. A 1/2 or full stick of real butter added to 1 pound of dried beans makes them delicious my mother in law taught me this or half stick butter 2 tbs bacon grease.
We love beans. Made me hungry for some - I’m off to the kitchen to put on a pot ! Many people don’t realize how very healthy they are. Instant pot is my preference- I love that ability to cook without checking on it constantly. Thanks Brooke
I've always heard of different recipes an things with beans. Beans an rice is a great pantry stock pile dollar tree beans is great to buy if you don't have enough money. Just make sure to put the beans in a baggy so that they don't make a mess in your pantry.
What a great recipe for a grey day! Great memories of my mom stirring the beans on the stove and baking cornbread. Love your videos. Blessings to you and your sweet family.
If bills are tight and you are looking to cut down on electric (and you aren’t using a wood stove) use an insta pot to cook your beans. The insta pot uses 1/4 th the electricity of a slow cooker.
I hadn’t heard of “soup beans” until watching your channel - but the other day I made soup beans and cornbread and it was so good! I want to make them again but I need to use up other leftovers in my fridge first 😆
We put in a small potato while cooking to soak up gas. DO NOT EAT POTATO. You will think you need to go to hospital, if you do. We eat ours with chopped onions, homemade buttermilk cornbread, relish and salsa. YUMMY!
I'll let my black-eyed peas, soup beans, etc cook all day in the crockpot. And I always use (strong) chicken broth, but I'm definitely gonna look for the Ham base!
Thanks for sharing cause I never knew how to cook beans before and I have been missing Mom long time and she would've been making this right NOW since it's colder than ever God Bless y'all and she would've been making green's to yummy 🤤
I like my beans with enough juice to make my cornbread nice and yummy too! I remember going to my grandmas house when I was little. She always made chow chow and my dad would eat it on everything the whole time we were there. My grandma was an amazing cook! She would say, come help me make dinner. I would ask her what we were going to have. She would say, a little of this and a little of that. I still can’t make fried okra that’s anywhere near as good as hers was. I miss cooking with her!!
I love using my Instant Pot for beans. I've never had them not be creamy. I do let mine do a natural release for at least 15 minutes after the I.P. is done.
We don't eat beans because we are poor; rather, because beans are a comfort food and we like legumes. Yesterday, I cooked a pot of black eye peas with bacon, spinach, and extras. I will be eating it for the rest of the week. Peas and beans are high in fiber. Cook those beans girl!

Gonna try that

For a little creaminess take out about a cup and mash them up and add bk to the pot. The beans will be creamy and thicker
That Goya ham concentrate is the best with any beans in the instant pot!
I never get tired of the little one "passing out" from deliciousness.
And that thumb coming up 😂
He is so adorable!! Precious!!
I agree! My favorite part! He is a cutie!!!! Makes me smile every time
Nothing better than a pot of beans, fried potatoes, and corn bread.
I like to chop up an onion in mine with a little garlic. Good eating for sure!
Girl you are amazing!! That is how I cook my beans as well! But I would love to see a Chowchow making and canning video!!!

That’s a hug in a bowl. Only thing missing is a wedge of sweet onion. Then dessert is a wedge of cornbread with some buttermilk.
Love beans and cornbread 😋

I knew you were a momma that really cares about her family. God bless you.
Now I need beans and cornbread. One of my favorites and something everyone in the house eats.
Up here in Amish country, I'm able to get a big container of ham soup base. It's like $5 but it lasts FOREVER.

One trick to make beans creamy is to take out a cup of beans and mash them with the back of a spoon or use a potato masher in the pot.
Living up here in Seattle, I made up some soup beans for Sunday dinner this week. I had some smoked turkey from last fall in the freezer to use up. Put my foot in those beans! Soooo good! Never underestimate a hood pot of beans.
I put turkey sausage in mine as well. Today I actually chopped some green bell pepper and the smell is amazing. 😻 I make fried potatoes as well

We eat ours with chopped onions, homemade buttermilk cornbread, relish and salsa. YUMMY!
I'll let my black-eyed peas, soup beans, etc cook all day in the crockpot. And I always use (strong) chicken broth, but I'm definitely gonna look for the Ham base!
Love great northern beans with cornbread,onion and chow chow 😋♥️
Thanks for sharing cause I never knew how to cook beans before and I have been missing Mom long time and she would've been making this right NOW since it's colder than ever God Bless y'all and she would've been making green's to yummy 🤤
We love ours with raw diced 🌰 and cornbread. I'm going to be making some chow-chow this garden season. It looks sooooo yummy!
I like my beans with enough juice to make my cornbread nice and yummy too! I remember going to my grandmas house when I was little. She always made chow chow and my dad would eat it on everything the whole time we were there. My grandma was an amazing cook! She would say, come help me make dinner. I would ask her what we were going to have. She would say, a little of this and a little of that. I still can’t make fried okra that’s anywhere near as good as hers was. I miss cooking with her!!
I love using my Instant Pot for beans. I've never had them not be creamy. I do let mine do a natural release for at least 15 minutes after the I.P. is done.
I do my beans and cornbread same way in my bowl lol
Looks delicious!!
I have bean soup on my menu rotation for this Sunday. I have a lovely ham bone leftover from another meal. Hooray for leftovers!
Nothing better than beans & cornbread! Thanks for sharing, Brooke and be blessed always! xoxo
I grew up eating soup beans with cornbread, fried potatoes and a Big slice of onion!
Brings memories of mama and them putting up chow chow from the garden and we still cook those beans thanks
Those look so good.
Love, love, love this video! Hope you make a million dollars on RUclips!
I love beans! Your bean dinner looks yummy!
🌄.. I've found myself having beans everyday. I add them to suppers & eat a little as a side dish.
I really enjoy your videos. You and your family inspire me.
Oh those beans look good. Great southern comfort food! My dad always wanted fried potatoes and onions with them but cornbread is enough for me ❤
Also a big onion and chow chow!! Mmmmmmm
