After I go and buy a few bags of dry beans, I will sit down in the evening and sort through them while I watch TV. I put the sorted dry beans in some clean, empty mayo jars that I saved specifically for storing the dry beans. It makes it easier to cook the beans when they are already cleaned and sorted. When I actually cook the beans, I often add a leftover ham bone that I've stored in the freezer just for this purpose. The ham bone not only seasons the beans with the meat left on it, but it also gives you a type of bone broth that has important collagen protein, as well as other healthy nutrients. Just a helpful hint for those who might be interested. Thanks, Mrs. Becky for sharing this recipe! 😊 ~L
Yup. I’ve continued my Nana’s Christmas-New Year’s tradition. Make a big old ham for Christmas dinner. Then I save/freeze the ham bone with some of the meat. Then usually for New Year’s Day or Super Bowl Sunday, I’ll take that ham bone out and and make a giant pot of pinto bean soup. (I usually do the soaking the beans overnight method.) I cook/simmer mine a bit longer. It makes some of the beans really break up and thicken the soup. We like ours pretty thick. Almost a soupy/stew like consistency. Sometimes I’ll add a few diced up carrots. (I’ve heard that it helps cut down on the “gas-effects” from eating a bunch of pinto beans.🥴I don’t really know if it’s true.🤷🏻♀️) I actually like to chop up a raw onion and sprinkle them on top of my bowl. I like the crunch of the raw onions in contrast to the silky soft soup beans. Then I always serve it with corn bread. I’ll also crumble up the cornbread and put it in my bowl like crackers. Simple, cheap, feeds a crowd, healthy and packed full of protein. It’s funny because it’s known in my family that any time somebody makes a ham to save the bone for me! A few years ago my daughter bought an expensive Honeybaked Spiral Ham. She had forgotten and threw the bone in the garbage. I made her dig it back out. (It had only been in the trash can for about an hour and there was nothing toxic or gross in there. Plus, I cleaned it off real well.) She was like “Geez mom, you act like the ham bones are a bar of gold.” I said “My dear, when it comes to cooking, they ARE!”😂😂😂 I also get teased for calling it “Soup Beans.” I was born/raised up North but both of my parents and grandparents are from the South. That’s what they call them, so I’ve always called them that. 🤷🏻♀️
Best way to sort beans is use a white plate and put bout one layer of beans on it . Shake it a little and you instantly see any rocks , sticks , or rat turds .

Yum Yum Yum !!!! The best supper ever !!! My Mommy always used middlin meat to put in her soup beans,but I use canola oil. We never had a lot when I was growing up but we never went hungry. We worked hard . My brothers packed in the coal and water. When I was a little girl we got our drinking water from an old dug well that my Great Parents dug. It was the sweetest water I have ever drunk. My big sister was like a mother to me and I was always on her hip. She cooked and cleaned she helped do laundry in an old wringer washer on the back porch. We led simple lives but sometimes it was a hard life.My children don't really know what hard work is. I wanted to give them all the things that I never had and I didn't want them to have to work so hard like I did growing up, but I sometimes wonder if I did the right thing. Anyways, I love watching your videos !! Becky those beans look delicious and I wish I was eating supper with you all !!!!! God Bless !!
Just got the news about your family tragic situation watching Collard Valley Cooks with Tammy and Chris. I couldnt believe the words coming out of her mouth about your husband, being newly widowed myself. There arent words to describe my heavy heart for you and your family and thid huge loss. Its times like this when we have hope of seeing our loved ones once again because of our precious Lord Jesus. Many prayers going up for you and your family and Tammy going through an infusion tomarrow.
Your cooking is exactly what I grew up eating! I am 62 and no longer have my Grandma or my Mom, and they never taught me to cook, yet I always had these delicious country meals. Nothing better than coming home from school on a rainy day to a house where pinto beans have been cooking:) Thank you so much for teaching me this. I've ruined them every time! 💕
My Dad made pinto beans and I have never been able to re-create how he did it... this is the closest I have found. His were thick, salty, filled with flavor, and just warm and hearty on cold winter nights. Thank you for giving us the basics. I love watching your videos. You are inspiring, and have brought me peace through God with food, which I love to share. I resisted subscribing to any internet channels, but God led me to you... and I am so grateful to Him for it!
Smash some of the beans will make then thick. That's how my father in law. Husband and our son likes there's. Matter of fact I'm cooking a pot today. Hopefully this will help thicken your beans
In the early 1950's when I was a child my mother would soak the beans overnight and start cooking them at daylight over a wood-burning stove. They would cook all day be served with a pone of baked corn bread.
I have fond memories of the sound of dry beans being poured into a colander by my Mom in the wee hours while we kids were still in bed during the Summer!
My absolute favorite. My mom calls them pinto beans, as has her whole family going way back, but I think just as many folks around SE KY call them soup beans. I always said that if I could pick my last supper, pintos, crunchy cornbread, green onion or chopped onion, sliced tomato, fried potatoes, and chow chow would be it, washed down with a tall glass of buttermilk.
One of my favorite meals,especially in the fall is pinto beans, turnip greens with turnips in them, baked sweet potato, fried fat back, and good ole buttermilk cornbread. MMmmmm!
Hi Becky, I think I might have mentioned already that my mom was from Kentucky, so every Tuesday was bean day at our house. She served the beans with a wilted lettuce salad and corn bread. She also cooked her beans in chicken broth, and I do the same thing today. Salt pork or a ham bone was what she used for seasoning. In the summer she 'd fry up a big skillet of fried green tomatoes too. She taught my sister and I how to cook.......we still fix red eye gravy over biscuits!
I've been cooking pintos all my life. This is the first recipe that the beans got tender and didn't spoil in a couple days. And so delicious!! Thankyou
Thank you again. I haven't cooked or baked much for years. Got everything from the store. Now I went on social security and can't go to restaurants as much or buy frozen meals. I ate mostly salads the last 25 years. So I'm learning to cook again. I've never tried, even one time, to make dried beans. Sorry for your loss again and I am surely praying for your entire family. I just can't imagine what it must be like going thru what you've going thru right now.
Wow, blast from my childhood. Mom would make pinto beans with a hamhock, fried potatoes, greens (mustard, turnip or collards) and a pan of cornbread. Mom's from Oklahoma and we ate this about once a week. Now I have to make a pot (I'm no cook, but even I can cook that meal). Oh, mom always used a little garlic powder in the beans and I really like the flavor it gives them.
Hi Becky! My mama’s family lives in Lebanon, MO-that’s where she was born & raised. She met my dad when he was in the army, stationed at Ft. Leonard wood. She was 16 when she married him and moved to Lancaster, PA where I was born & raised. Mama misses the dishes that HER mama used to make. I just wanted to say thank you because you demonstrate a lot of dishes that mama has missed all these years. I like surprising her with some of your dishes...she’s always so happy. Her smile makes my day! Thank you!!
Thank you for your kind words Lisa. Btw, I'm only about 30 minutes from Rogersville. That's really cool that your ancestors founded it. God bless you and your Mama!
My mother was born and raised in Galax VA as was her mother and father. There was never a time that I can ever remember going to my Granny's house that there was not a pot of pinto beans on the stove, My grand dad ate a bowl for lunch everyday of his life with a side of cornbread. My Granny cooked them with salt pork. She would also soak some sliced soak port and then bake it in a cast iron skillet. Then should would lay it on a paper towel on the stove and every so often she walk by it and take a pinch and pop it in her mouth,, oh so good a salty !!! She also made the best half runner string beans... I would give anything for a pot of those. Thank you for taking the time to make this video , it sure brought back so nice memories.
+Sarah Jester My Granny's house always smelled like pinto beans. I think the memories that the smell brings back are why I like them so much, the taste is a bonus. I am always to meet a fan of salt :)) You wouldn't believe how many people in the world are anti salt. Thanks for watching, commenting and subscribing! Welcome to the Hillbilly Kitchen where we always got a pot of beans on the stove!!!
+Sarah Jester , half runners are the only beans I will ever grow. Good catch there, unfortunately commercially people prefer more skinny types. I agree that cooking them with a fat works quite well. In brazil you learn alot about beans, I think cooking them for about an extra hour at a bit higher heat would be a bit better. The beans release more starch and as long as you don't add a ton of water, they thicken more than just a brown water. Alot of old timers used to use pressure cookers, now a days, not so much, those things can cook beans in less than an hour. Funny thing is, they never dwindled in brazil, every family has a pressure cooker they use regularly.
John G, one of the hottest trends today is the Instant Pot. Last year, on Prime Day, Amazon sold 250,000 of them in a single day. It's a pressure cooker, rice cooker, yogurt maker, saute pan, multifunction miracle. I cook beans in it all the time. Check out RanchoGordo.com for heirloom beans.
I was born and raised in east tennessee. soup beans cornbread boiled cabbage. my most favorite meal. I've never heard em called soup beans anywhere else and was so happy to hear you call em that!!!
I just wanna say Thank you so much, several times I have been looking for something specific and have found exactly what I was hoping to find , all on your channel!! I am grateful my momma and grammas taught me to cook from scratch so I am familiar with methods but they passed before I was an adult so I never had a chance to ask them for specific recipes or how tos. And my grandmas treasured old world norwegian cookbook that her mother had brought from norway in the late 1800's when she immigrated to the US disappeared upon her passing... Your content is so priceless!! You have so many skills and knowledge and I have a deep respect for your videos. So many people could learn so much by watching your videos!!! Thank you for sharing with us!!
Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge with us! I love southern cookin, but unfortunately I was born a yankee. I can't tell you how much I appreciate you! God bless you and your family.
Some people might think of beans and cornbread s hillbilly food but to me it's one of the best comfort food you can make. when they are done right, they are so good
Of all the places I’ve lived the one thing I always missed and loved more than any restaurant could offer is my mom’s pinto beans and cornbread. When I went vegan in the 90s my parents started cooking them with olive oil vs animal fat. My mom is always trying to tell me how to cook pinto beans but it ends up in a disaster...but so far Ms. Becky you haven’t let me down so I’m going to try this this week.
Being from Eolia Ky, I surely known, what Pintos are. My most favorite meal, consists of, pintos corn bread fried potatoes and of course pork chops....add some fresh garden green onions tomatoes and cucumbers and you have a dinner fit for royalty
My grandmother used to let her dried beans soak overnight in water that she added a bit of garlic and lemon juice to because she said it made them cook up more tender than otherwise, I've always sortof seen pinto beans and cornbread as a 24 hour process and as a result I don't make them as often as I otherwise might. I'll definitely give your recipe a try. I'm trying to introduce my husband and mother in law to the joys of southern cooking. So far so good. Thanks for the tips!
I do the overnight soaking too when I remember or think of it ahead of time. I think they taste a little better but par boiling is far better than a can. Let me know what you think after you try them. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Hi again! I tried your method for the beans and they turned out amazing! I had to tweak the recipe a bit and I noticed that ...well, not to be crude but it was a lively evening at our house, with everybody playing the fanny flute. Glad we had some febreeze on hand for sure, lol. Totally worth it though, and definitely something I'll be making again. Next adventure is going to be meat loaf! :) Thanks again for the recipe!
Hey, what do you mean 'Hey Ladies', men cook too!!! :) My wife doesn't so I am the chef of house. RUclips recommended your channel on splash page, watched a video, and immediately subscribed! Love your devotion, desire to spread the word without overdoing it, and your recipes (yes the Johnny Cakes one was first I saw :). Now starting from oldest to newest. Ya'll are awesome! Shout Out from Alabama.
I was so inspired that I have a pot on cooking now. Smells so good cooking - like home when I was a child. Thanks so much! Oh, and I love your book. ❣️
My mother always used a pressure cooker for beans but I really like my crock pot for mine. I save ham bones, ham scraps or just dice up a slice of ham. I have also used any kind of sausage.
I grew up on pinto beans. I vary my recipe according to how I feel on the day I'm making them. I usually use some kind of pork to season the broth but when I don't I use a little olive oil. I also use onion and at times diced carrot and celery. I like spice so I often dice a little jalapeno. Pinto's are a great meal or side with whatever recipe you like. And cornbread is a natural to go with pinto and sop up that bean broth. In Guatemala, people use corn stalks as a trellis to grow their beans.
Had pintos almost every night eight of us in our family, always had pork meat in beans ,cornbread, onion and fried tators wish I could go back in time 😥
Did something new, at least for me on the last pot of beans I made, I cut up a small tomato and added it with a small chopped onion, wow, really hit the spot.
I just leaned to boil them 10 minutes and rinse them + pot do it 3 times , or 4 and then cook them... it gets the saccarides sugars out of them which cause gas...
These look absolutely amazing. And I agree about the high cost of most prepared foods and containing things that aren't any good for you. I had to laugh at the bacon grease comment, because I'm the only person I know who keeps an old coffee can of all my bacon grease in the fridge to cook with. Wish you and yours all the best!
+shadowstalker130666 Thank you :) Everybody I know has bacon grease in their fridge. I did a tip video on how to dispose of grease without stopping up your drain and I said it works for bacon grease and a dozen people commented firmly with "I NEVER throw out bacon grease !" so you are not alone. When I get up to up to 3 jars the dogs get it on their food. We eat a lot of bacon sometimes and I just get more than I could possible use :) Thanks for subscribing! Welcome to the Hillbilly Kitchen!!!
Glad to be here! Can't wait to watch more of your videos and try out some of the recipes. Nothing beats real food, and real home cooking. My family could learn a lot about that I think. Lol. My mom made me a fat free, sugar free, gluten free cake for my last birthday. Made me wonder what it was made from!
shadowstalker130666 My general view is natural whole food is best. Start with the best fresh ingredients that you can get your hands on. In the winter fresh isn't always possible and sometimes short cuts are necessary, but the artificial sweeteners and additives they put in the fat free stuff to make it taste good are toxic, a little fat and sugar are much better for you. Be grateful you have a mom who loves you enough to make you a birthday cake and for her birthday make her a fresh cake out of real food and tell her how healthy it is because it doesn't have any additives and will keep her from getting Alzheimer's. You might change her mind about all that free food. Remember the saying "nothing in life is free", if it tastes to good to be true it is.
Hey I think I'm kin to you I'm from Texas I was brought up on me beans cornbread and fried potatoes with onions yummy I'll still fixing my mom fixed it her mom before her fixed it thank you have a great day
I grew up in Washington State but had people in Mississippi. I loved spending summers there eating my grandpa’s black-eyed peas & ham hocks, butter beans, okra, southern-fried chicken... I’ve never found food Ike that again but I’m tryin’ to figure out how to cook it!
+Ezell Hayes Being a East Tennessee hillbilly I have tried it more than once :) This is a basic how to prepare dried pinto beans. Thanks for stopping by the Hillbilly Kitchen, visit us again soon!
Good gracious!! Watching this at almost midnight had me wishing it was tomorrow already so I can throw a pot of beans on the stove! Girl! You are one awesome presenter of delicious recipes! Blessings form your Sis Maria in NC
I live in Texas and my granny made these just like this. And her kitchen looked a lot like yours. The whole middle bit of America is a lot of the same sort.
Thank you :) There really is nothing like a pot of beans simmering on the stove all day when it is cold outside. We got snowed in on our 25 Anniversary and that is what we had for dinner. A big bowl of beans. Needless to say there were fireworks all night :))
With the food prices I thought I’m going to make some pinto beans with bacon some fried potatoes and sweet cornbread. I know your a widow also but todays the first time making pinto beans which was Jeff’s favorite meal one day at a time. Your my favorite cook on RUclips!
I like that beans are so cheap and so easy to cook. They'll filling but the gas is sometimes too much, coming from my husband, of course. I cook mine with salt, pepper, bacon grease, ham, and when done a little ketchup. Very good!
Just found your channel and like it very much. You are a no nonsense cook like I am. I cook lots of pinto, white, red and black beans in all of my crock pots and freeze them in two cup measure in quart freezer bags. I love to have them in the freezer, I could eat beans every day. I make my own refried beans so I can keep them low in salt and fat for my husband, who has health problems. It is so easy to make taco soups and other great dishes when you already have your beans in the freezer.
@@TheHillbillyKitchen my big bro harassed me and said only I would take a $1 dinner and make it expensive...obviously he doesnt cook nor buy food much! Hope you guys are doing ok in this cold. I am on the tx/ok northeast border just off of a huge lake. We hit -25 few nights but made it. Many were much worse.
Growing up my mom made this twice a week, probably. Usually with some cornbread and hominy on the side. Sometimes with green onions as a topping. Absolutely outrageously good. Think I might make some today, you've got me hungry! Subscribed!
+magicpony9 For generations they have been a staple. We would be spending a lot less on medications and doctor visits, if people would eat more beans and less McDonalds. Enjoy your beans tonight! I think it is time for another pot here :) Thanks for watching, commenting and subscribing!!!
Best meal ever. I love cornbread crumbled up in bowl of beans. Prefer sweet cornbread. Also like relish sometimes in bowl of beans. My mom sometimes would place cut up can biscuits in pot of beans as they finished up cooking. Along with a ham hock for seasoning. I've eaten beans many different ways. I've even added smoke seasoning if I didn't have a pork fat to add. Thank you so much for making this video. Will look for your cornbread video. God Bless you and your family. Love Tamson from Kentucky.
@@victorbunch7725 LOL yeppers. Same for me and I never got tired of them. So long as I have onions, hot sauce, salt and pepper with my beans and cornbread I'm never going to starve.
@@babygrandma8654 I think the most memorable tho. when i was 10 or maybe 12 my mother was away w/her dad that was passing over! Me my poppy [dad] and brother had old sour beans and old corn-bread for thanks giving dinner,,, lol we were so poor back then even the roach's packed and ran away from home,,,,, We had this old cat that would mess in the house mom would rub his nose in and throw him out the window, He was such a smart cat it got so smart in fact that when he messed he would rub his own nose in it and run jump out the window,,,,,,,,,
yum yum absolutely one of my favorite foods! my grann ate it just like yours. also, out of her garden, there was usually some green beans or sliced tomatoes. and poke sallet she planted in her backyard. i miss her and her cookin' so much.
Amen pinto beans. I love beans. I was rased up on pinto beans. Sadly I moved North. Woman here don't like pinto beans. But I do. I cook my beans in the slow cooker. They always turn out great. No mess no fuss. I do look and wash them. But I don't soak them. Also I great northern beans. Seems like they have a thicker broth in them. Great video thanks for sharing.
My Mama told me to only buy Silers pinto beans. They were always fresh, and you never had hard, old beans. Now I grow my own Rattlesnake beans, dry them, and use as pintos, so good!
It is soup beans and cornbread in Georgia and,Alabama too.With some a slice or two of onion and tomatoes sometimes. But my Momma and Mawmaw use to cook them with salt pork or some pork pieces or bacon . Im in Kansas now and still the same.
I am so lucky that we have a company in Maine who grows and dries beans. they do almost every Bean that you can get in a normal grocery store. up North we tend to use navy beans or pea beans for baked beans but I Love Pintos I love red kidney beans I love them all and we eat quite a bit of beans in Maine because away from the coast is very rural and not a lot of money and the Appalachian Trail ends above Maine. the entire state which is good size has only 1 million people. I am very happy to have found your channel!

In the summer she 'd fry up a big skillet of fried green tomatoes too. She taught my sister and I how to cook.......we still fix red eye gravy over biscuits!
Wilted salad...yum. haven't had that in years. We called it Green stuff.
I've been cooking pintos all my life. This is the first recipe that the beans got tender and didn't spoil in a couple days. And so delicious!! Thankyou
Great to hear!
Thank you again. I haven't cooked or baked much for years. Got everything from the store. Now I went on social security and can't go to restaurants as much or buy frozen meals. I ate mostly salads the last 25 years. So I'm learning to cook again. I've never tried, even one time, to make dried beans. Sorry for your loss again and I am surely praying for your entire family. I just can't imagine what it must be like going thru what you've going thru right now.
Wow, blast from my childhood. Mom would make pinto beans with a hamhock, fried potatoes, greens (mustard, turnip or collards) and a pan of cornbread. Mom's from Oklahoma and we ate this about once a week. Now I have to make a pot (I'm no cook, but even I can cook that meal). Oh, mom always used a little garlic powder in the beans and I really like the flavor it gives them.
Another old favorite of mine as a kid, a bowl of pinto beans onions and Ketchup 😆
*Yellow cornbread, made in a cast iron skillet, is a MUST for us very southern Hoosiers!! LOVE IT!!*
Thank you!
What is the best way of keeping corn bread from sticking to my 8in. cast iron pan?
Hi Becky! My mama’s family lives in Lebanon, MO-that’s where she was born & raised. She met my dad when he was in the army, stationed at Ft. Leonard wood. She was 16 when she married him and moved to Lancaster, PA where I was born & raised.
Mama misses the dishes that HER mama used to make. I just wanted to say thank you because you demonstrate a lot of dishes that mama has missed all these years. I like surprising her with some of your dishes...she’s always so happy. Her smile makes my day!
Thank you!!
My mama’s daddy came from Rogerstown, TN...our ancestors founded that town.
Oops...Rogersville, TN
Thank you for your kind words Lisa. Btw, I'm only about 30 minutes from Rogersville. That's really cool that your ancestors founded it. God bless you and your Mama!
@@TheHillbillyKitchen Wow!! That’s so awesome!!
@@TheHillbillyKitchen I told my husband that I wish we lived closer because I think we’d be friends!!
My mother was born and raised in Galax VA as was her mother and father. There was never a time that I can ever remember going to my Granny's house that there was not a pot of pinto beans on the stove, My grand dad ate a bowl for lunch everyday of his life with a side of cornbread. My Granny cooked them with salt pork. She would also soak some sliced soak port and then bake it in a cast iron skillet. Then should would lay it on a paper towel on the stove and every so often she walk by it and take a pinch and pop it in her mouth,, oh so good a salty !!! She also made the best half runner string beans... I would give anything for a pot of those. Thank you for taking the time to make this video , it sure brought back so nice memories.
+Sarah Jester My Granny's house always smelled like pinto beans. I think the memories that the smell brings back are why I like them so much, the taste is a bonus. I am always to meet a fan of salt :)) You wouldn't believe how many people in the world are anti salt. Thanks for watching, commenting and subscribing! Welcome to the Hillbilly Kitchen where we always got a pot of beans on the stove!!!
What is soak port?
+Sarah Jester , half runners are the only beans I will ever grow. Good catch there, unfortunately commercially people prefer more skinny types. I agree that cooking them with a fat works quite well. In brazil you learn alot about beans, I think cooking them for about an extra hour at a bit higher heat would be a bit better. The beans release more starch and as long as you don't add a ton of water, they thicken more than just a brown water. Alot of old timers used to use pressure cookers, now a days, not so much, those things can cook beans in less than an hour. Funny thing is, they never dwindled in brazil, every family has a pressure cooker they use regularly.
John G, one of the hottest trends today is the Instant Pot. Last year, on Prime Day, Amazon sold 250,000 of them in a single day. It's a pressure cooker, rice cooker, yogurt maker, saute pan, multifunction miracle. I cook beans in it all the time. Check out RanchoGordo.com for heirloom beans.
good old real pressure cooker will outlast that thing. Those countertop appliances always go out of style.
I was born and raised in east tennessee. soup beans cornbread boiled cabbage. my most favorite meal. I've never heard em called soup beans anywhere else and was so happy to hear you call em that!!!
Thanks to you and your husband and family and friends and casual viewers.... the best of everything, in every way.
we always had a bowl of beans on the table on the farm growing up.took cold bean sandwiches to school sometimes for lunch.
It’s the same thing we do with long grain rice. In Appalachia, they call it “looking the beans.”
Southwest Virginia calls 'em "soup beans"! They are wonderful with some corn bread and onions! Maybe a little chow on top! MMMMM!
I love the sound of the beans as you sort them. Music to my ears. I par boil my beans but then I cook them in the pressure cooker.
This is the way my Kentucky mom made soup beens, they’re the best.
I just wanna say Thank you so much, several times I have been looking for something specific and have found exactly what I was hoping to find , all on your channel!! I am grateful my momma and grammas taught me to cook from scratch so I am familiar with methods but they passed before I was an adult so I never had a chance to ask them for specific recipes or how tos. And my grandmas treasured old world norwegian cookbook that her mother had brought from norway in the late 1800's when she immigrated to the US disappeared upon her passing... Your content is so priceless!! You have so many skills and knowledge and I have a deep respect for your videos. So many people could learn so much by watching your videos!!! Thank you for sharing with us!!
Bless YOU Dear Lady.
I had forgotten about your fine channel until I needed your expert and loving advice,
Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge with us! I love southern cookin, but unfortunately I was born a yankee. I can't tell you how much I appreciate you! God bless you and your family.
Some people might think of beans and cornbread s hillbilly food but to me it's one of the best comfort food you can make. when they are done right, they are so good
Of all the places I’ve lived the one thing I always missed and loved more than any restaurant could offer is my mom’s pinto beans and cornbread. When I went vegan in the 90s my parents started cooking them with olive oil vs animal fat.
My mom is always trying to tell me how to cook pinto beans but it ends up in a disaster...but so far Ms. Becky you haven’t let me down so I’m going to try this this week.
Thanks for sharing your memory with us. I hope you enjoy them, God bless you!
My favorite meal is your hillbilly dinner.i have eaten this since I was little. In the summer we had corn on the cob and sliced tomatoes with it.
Awesome
my mom made the best . Ate them all the time growing up along with skillet of cornbread.
Being from Eolia Ky, I surely known, what Pintos are. My most favorite meal, consists of, pintos corn bread fried potatoes and of course pork chops....add some fresh garden green onions tomatoes and cucumbers and you have a dinner fit for royalty
Yes, Mr. King! It sounds like our family shared the same cookbook. Best food anywhere!😊 ~LR
My wife was raised on pinto beans and corn bread. Kentucky Proud Here!!!
My grandmother used to let her dried beans soak overnight in water that she added a bit of garlic and lemon juice to because she said it made them cook up more tender than otherwise, I've always sortof seen pinto beans and cornbread as a 24 hour process and as a result I don't make them as often as I otherwise might. I'll definitely give your recipe a try. I'm trying to introduce my husband and mother in law to the joys of southern cooking. So far so good. Thanks for the tips!
I do the overnight soaking too when I remember or think of it ahead of time. I think they taste a little better but par boiling is far better than a can. Let me know what you think after you try them. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Hi again! I tried your method for the beans and they turned out amazing! I had to tweak the recipe a bit and I noticed that ...well, not to be crude but it was a lively evening at our house, with everybody playing the fanny flute. Glad we had some febreeze on hand for sure, lol. Totally worth it though, and definitely something I'll be making again. Next adventure is going to be meat loaf! :) Thanks again for the recipe!
Hey, what do you mean 'Hey Ladies', men cook too!!! :) My wife doesn't so I am the chef of house. RUclips recommended your channel on splash page, watched a video, and immediately subscribed! Love your devotion, desire to spread the word without overdoing it, and your recipes (yes the Johnny Cakes one was first I saw :). Now starting from oldest to newest. Ya'll are awesome! Shout Out from Alabama.
Thank you for subscribing. Welcome to The Hillbilly Kitchen and God bless you in Alabama!
I was so inspired that I have a pot on cooking now. Smells so good cooking - like home when I was a child. Thanks so much! Oh, and I love your book. ❣️
pintos, corn bread, and bacon - that's a meal here in Texas
That's a meal anywhere :)
LeRoy Engle Thats a meal anywhere in Montana ranch country and all over the rural South
Oh yes & it's so filling
Close but not quite. Cornbread needs to be cracklin bread!
You know it!🥰🥰🥰
I grew up on pinto beans and cornbread. Still my favorite meal.
My mother always used a pressure cooker for beans but I really like my crock pot for mine. I save ham bones, ham scraps or just dice up a slice of ham. I have also used any kind of sausage.
Thank you for watching and sharing with us. God bless you ❤️
Yum love soup beans always with onions eat them all the time
Thank you for sharing your recipe
I grew up on pinto beans. I vary my recipe according to how I feel on the day I'm making them. I usually use some kind of pork to season the broth but when I don't I use a little olive oil. I also use onion and at times diced carrot and celery. I like spice so I often dice a little jalapeno. Pinto's are a great meal or side with whatever recipe you like. And cornbread is a natural to go with pinto and sop up that bean broth. In Guatemala, people use corn stalks as a trellis to grow their beans.
Beans and cornbread is one of my favorite meals
Beans beans the magical fruit....
Pintos, cornbread, sliced onion, chow chow and Texas Pete. Staples on the "mill hills" of South Carolina!
🤤
Had pintos almost every night eight of us in our family, always had pork meat in beans ,cornbread, onion and fried tators wish I could go back in time 😥
@@janleslie7163 My Grandma put fatback in hers
I am from southeastern KY we love our soup beans
Love to cook this with a ham hock and chopped yellow onion. Also good with butter beans! And cornbread! God bless.
+susan hopkins There are probable a million ways to season them and they are all gooood, that is what makes pinto beans great! God Bless You!
Did something new, at least for me on the last pot of beans I made, I cut up a small tomato and added it with a small chopped onion, wow, really hit the spot.
I just leaned to boil them 10 minutes and rinse them + pot do it 3 times , or 4 and then cook them... it gets the saccarides sugars out of them which cause gas...
These look absolutely amazing. And I agree about the high cost of most prepared foods and containing things that aren't any good for you. I had to laugh at the bacon grease comment, because I'm the only person I know who keeps an old coffee can of all my bacon grease in the fridge to cook with. Wish you and yours all the best!
+shadowstalker130666 Thank you :) Everybody I know has bacon grease in their fridge. I did a tip video on how to dispose of grease without stopping up your drain and I said it works for bacon grease and a dozen people commented firmly with "I NEVER throw out bacon grease !" so you are not alone. When I get up to up to 3 jars the dogs get it on their food. We eat a lot of bacon sometimes and I just get more than I could possible use :) Thanks for subscribing! Welcome to the Hillbilly Kitchen!!!
Glad to be here! Can't wait to watch more of your videos and try out some of the recipes. Nothing beats real food, and real home cooking. My family could learn a lot about that I think. Lol. My mom made me a fat free, sugar free, gluten free cake for my last birthday. Made me wonder what it was made from!
shadowstalker130666 My general view is natural whole food is best. Start with the best fresh ingredients that you can get your hands on. In the winter fresh isn't always possible and sometimes short cuts are necessary, but the artificial sweeteners and additives they put in the fat free stuff to make it taste good are toxic, a little fat and sugar are much better for you. Be grateful you have a mom who loves you enough to make you a birthday cake and for her birthday make her a fresh cake out of real food and tell her how healthy it is because it doesn't have any additives and will keep her from getting Alzheimer's. You might change her mind about all that free food. Remember the saying "nothing in life is free", if it tastes to good to be true it is.

birds like bacon grease too if you have a little spare for them - especially the winter months..
We had a container that had a strainer n it sat out on stove all the time...never refrigerated and I am still alive 60 years later...lol
Love your videos and your choice in tv shows. I grew up on the Rifleman!
I love METV. They have a lot of the good old shows like the Rifleman, Gunsmoke, Andy Griffith, etc. God bless you!
One of my favorite meals growing up. Pinto Beans, carrot curls, cheddar cheese sticks, green onions, fresh green cayenne peppers, and corn bread.
grew up with a granny just like yours......mmmmmmmmm
The "West Virginia Grandma special" love em
Just LOVE pinto beans and cornbread. Love it!
My dad would be the one in the other room watching the Rifleman. He was 93 and went to heaven on the last day of July this year.
I'm making pinto beans today with cut ham mmmm cornbread pork chops buttermilk cornbread you have the best recipes on RUclips
Just like my momma used to make! So blessed to have found you!
Hey I think I'm kin to you I'm from Texas I was brought up on me beans cornbread and fried potatoes with onions yummy I'll still fixing my mom fixed it her mom before her fixed it thank you have a great day

Anyone have a good chow chow recipe? I miss my grandmother's both so much...wish I had learned more from them
And a big glass of buttermilk 😁
Hush you're making me hungry!! LOVE fried taters, fry em in bacon grease.
I grew up in Washington State but had people in Mississippi. I loved spending summers there eating my grandpa’s black-eyed peas & ham hocks, butter beans, okra, southern-fried chicken... I’ve never found food Ike that again but I’m tryin’ to figure out how to cook it!
im from ky. and i love soup beans and cornbread. love your show. keep up the good work. god bless.
We hillbillies of east Tennessee add just a taste of garlic when we season our pintos. Try it you might like it.
+Ezell Hayes Being a East Tennessee hillbilly I have tried it more than once :) This is a basic how to prepare dried pinto beans. Thanks for stopping by the Hillbilly Kitchen, visit us again soon!
West Virginians do that as well .
Garlic is one of the most important foods for the immune system.
Supporting the immune system is critical during this time of COVID-19.
Good gracious!! Watching this at almost midnight had me wishing it was tomorrow already so I can throw a pot of beans on the stove! Girl! You are one awesome presenter of delicious recipes! Blessings form your Sis Maria in NC
Love what you teach. So much healthier.
Thank you :))
Glad I found this channel. I look forward to making the pintos.
I live in Texas and my granny made these just like this. And her kitchen looked a lot like yours. The whole middle bit of America is a lot of the same sort.
Hillbilly Kitchen Verses & Vittles. Good ole' pinto beans, greens, cornbread & onion. That's called fine dining in the South!
What a great cook you are Becky..Thank you for sharing this on RUclips..
I will make this in autumn , and winter when it colder weather...
Thank you :) There really is nothing like a pot of beans simmering on the stove all day when it is cold outside. We got snowed in on our 25 Anniversary and that is what we had for dinner. A big bowl of beans. Needless to say there were fireworks all night :))
lol
With the food prices I thought I’m going to make some pinto beans with bacon some fried potatoes and sweet cornbread. I know your a widow also but todays the first time making pinto beans which was Jeff’s favorite meal one day at a time. Your my favorite cook on RUclips!
I like that beans are so cheap and so easy to cook. They'll filling but the gas is sometimes too much, coming from my husband, of course. I cook mine with salt, pepper, bacon grease, ham, and when done a little ketchup. Very good!
Just found your channel and like it very much. You are a no nonsense cook like I am. I cook lots of pinto, white, red and black beans in all of my crock pots and freeze them in two cup measure in quart freezer bags. I love to have them in the freezer, I could eat beans every day. I make my own refried beans so I can keep them low in salt and fat for my husband, who has health problems. It is so easy to make taco soups and other great dishes when you already have your beans in the freezer.
I make em "fancy" sometimes with peppers, onions and chunks of ham or a ham bone. Fried tatas and cornbread
Yummy! I love peppers and onions in most everything.
@@TheHillbillyKitchen my big bro harassed me and said only I would take a $1 dinner and make it expensive...obviously he doesnt cook nor buy food much!
Hope you guys are doing ok in this cold. I am on the tx/ok northeast border just off of a huge lake. We hit -25 few nights but made it. Many were much worse.
Growing up my mom made this twice a week, probably. Usually with some cornbread and hominy on the side. Sometimes with green onions as a topping. Absolutely outrageously good. Think I might make some today, you've got me hungry! Subscribed!
+magicpony9 For generations they have been a staple. We would be spending a lot less on medications and doctor visits, if people would eat more beans and less McDonalds. Enjoy your beans tonight! I think it is time for another pot here :)
Thanks for watching, commenting and subscribing!!!
Best meal ever. I love cornbread crumbled up in bowl of beans. Prefer sweet cornbread. Also like relish sometimes in bowl of beans. My mom sometimes would place cut up can biscuits in pot of beans as they finished up cooking. Along with a ham hock for seasoning. I've eaten beans many different ways. I've even added smoke seasoning if I didn't have a pork fat to add. Thank you so much for making this video. Will look for your cornbread video. God Bless you and your family. Love Tamson from Kentucky.
After parboiling, I cook in the Crock Pot. I like a lot of soup for corn bread.
Growing up, we would have starved if it weren't for pinto beans.
Yep we had beans and taters one day then for for a change of menu we had taters and beans the next day
yes
@@victorbunch7725 LOL yeppers. Same for me and I never got tired of them. So long as I have onions, hot sauce, salt and pepper with my beans and cornbread I'm never going to starve.
@@babygrandma8654 I think the most memorable tho. when i was 10 or maybe 12 my mother was away w/her dad that was passing over! Me my poppy [dad] and brother had old sour beans and old corn-bread for thanks giving dinner,,, lol we were so poor back then even the roach's packed and ran away from home,,,,, We had this old cat that would mess in the house mom would rub his nose in and throw him out the window, He was such a smart cat it got so smart in fact that when he messed he would rub his own nose in it and run jump out the window,,,,,,,,,
@@victorbunch7725 OMG those were the days 😂
yum yum absolutely one of my favorite foods! my grann ate it just like yours. also, out of her garden, there was usually some green beans or sliced tomatoes. and poke sallet she planted in her backyard. i miss her and her cookin' so much.
Basket of Deplorables I grew up with at too...good memories. BTW, another Deplorable here!
Amen pinto beans. I love beans. I was rased up on pinto beans. Sadly I moved North. Woman here don't like pinto beans. But I do. I cook my beans in the slow cooker. They always turn out great. No mess no fuss. I do look and wash them. But I don't soak them. Also I great northern beans. Seems like they have a thicker broth in them. Great video thanks for sharing.
yum one of my favorite foods,great video
I keep coming back to this video! ❤
BTW, those dancing silli s were my children's favorite and they would come running to see them ♥️
My Mama told me to only buy Silers pinto beans. They were always fresh, and you never had hard, old beans. Now I grow my own Rattlesnake beans, dry them, and use as pintos, so good!
I think I'm gonna love your channel. I love all the food you make.
Love them beans!!! Have some in the crockpot now and make some cornbread here in Texas.Thank y'all and God bless!!!❤🇺🇸😀
My son-in-law, who's 80% Native American, Chiricahua Apache & Cherokee, makes the best ham & beans I've ever tasted. He's an excellent cook.
Suzanne La Force does he have a video on how to make them?
It is soup beans and cornbread in Georgia and,Alabama too.With some a slice or two of onion and tomatoes sometimes. But my Momma and Mawmaw use to cook them with salt pork or some pork pieces or bacon . Im in Kansas now and still the same.
I am so lucky that we have a company in Maine who grows and dries beans. they do almost every Bean that you can get in a normal grocery store. up North we tend to use navy beans or pea beans for baked beans but I Love Pintos I love red kidney beans I love them all and we eat quite a bit of beans in Maine because away from the coast is very rural and not a lot of money and the Appalachian Trail ends above Maine. the entire state which is good size has only 1 million people. I am very happy to have found your channel!
I m Mexican and just started cooking pinto beans and your video was the easiest to follow.Thank you!!!!!
Thanks for sharing.
You're delightful.
I make mine by sorting/ rinsing/ soaking overnight/ rinsing again ....then cook them in my crockpot ...ooooh sooooo yummy
Okay it's official. She's awesome.
Really enjoy learning from your channel, and love the recipes and stories! Thanks!
I'm cooking it right now. So excited to find this!

I ate pinto beans nearly every day while growing up. Never got tired of them.
Always added a smoked ham hock to mine. Meaty and delicious!
