Hey Becky, I can remember going to stay with my aunt in Kentucky .My uncle Bill would make a big pot of pinto beans and when they were done he would take out about a cup of beans and mash they then add them back to the pot and it made the soup so creamy. He would fry a large cast iron pan of fried taters and crackling corn bread and everyone would get a chunk of onion. I miss those days of everyone sitting around the kitchen and livingroom and eating,talking and just being together. Much love from Kansas City Missouri 💞 ...and as you say always put God first.
Eating cabbage, ham,potato soup with cornbread while watching this. Nothing like southern food on a snowy cold day. God bless you Becky and your family.
I'm a Ukrainian/Polish Midwestern Yank...love me some cabbage, kielbasa, and tater soup, with onions and carrots...I guess it's similar to what you are describing. Yours sounds good, too! Edited to say PS...Southern and soul food are essentially the same as ethnic food, such as my peeps' food. I was raised on bacon grease, love liver (both beef and chicken), souse, headcheese -- all that good stuff!
My favorite by far with some homemade cornbread (no sugar) and a glass of buttermilk, oh Mama How I Miss You Bet The Lord Loves Your Cooking For Him Now 🙏❤️🙏🙏 !!!
Man, this sounds wonderful! I grew up eating soup beans and cornbread for supper, along with fried taters if we had them, and biscuits and gravy for breakfast. This is what I consider comfort food.
You’re talkin my upbringing…we didn’t have much but what we had we shared around the neighborhood…..luckily I am financially stable today (not rich) but you’re right….this food is nostalgic…..shalom
Becky, first let me say, this pic is my grandma, who lived to be almost 101. She was a great inspiration to me! I keep her pictures close by. She was 30 years younger than my grandpa and was the mother of his last 5 children. He was 91 when he died. She was close to 60. She was a widow for a little over 40 years. I was her constant companion because we lived close and both parents worked. Many people say that I’m another Hutsie (which was her name). I consider that a great compliment! I’ve loved your comments about Charlotte and other young family members. And I’m so proud of you going backpacking with her! My sweetheart husband died almost 10 years ago now. I saw your show today where you talked about not having gotten all the necessary paperwork so you could take care of other business, and the feelings you have about his dr and trying to control your thoughts and words. I understand all that. My heart goes out to you with love, support and prayers. Please keep doing what you’re doing! So many of us need the conversations you’re having…the scriptures and feelings that you mix in with good old down-home recipes. God bless you, Brett’s mom, and your family. I learned recently that God doesn’t have to explain Himself, but He does help us through to the other side, because He said He would…all we have to do is put our hand in His,
Thanks for the video. My Mom in the 60's told me ( one day you will appreciate having beans for dinner). That has always stuck in my mind, I'm 71 and love pinto beans soup.
I am one of a family of 12 that grew up eating pinto beans two or three times a week along with tomato macaroni and cornbread. We were poor, but never went hungry. These beans are filling and delicious. Thanks and God bless.
@@happycook6737 A quart of home canned tomatoes, water,salt,pepper, and macaroni cooked together and some flour and milk stirred together to thicken it. Also just a little sugar to cut the acidity in the tomatoes. Still make it to this day.
I was raised on pinto beans, fried taters, and cornbread and of course fresh veggies from our huge garden. My mom made the best pinto beans I’ve ever tasted. I can not make mine taste like hers. She often added chorizo sausage to hers. Blessings from Diane in Oklahoma!❤️🙏
We always cooked these with a ham hock or leftover bone from a sliced up country ham with a bit of meat left on it. We always added some onion from the garden too. I have loved these things all my life, 75 years now. And yes, we had some going on the stove most of the time when I was a kid. :)

My mom used salt pork with Navy Beans for her soup beans. My dad always loved it with malt vinegar, raw onions and cornbread. Mom cooked her cornbread in a cast iron skillet on the stove. I made 1 lb pinto beans yesterday in the crockpot on low for 10 hours after they soaked for 3-4 hours. It made me wish I had malt vinegar in my pantry as I would have ate them as a soup that way. Pintos make really good refried beans or bean burritos if you mash them up and season that portion well with cumin, etc.
I have NEVER been able to thoroughly cook my beans no matter if I soaked them or not! I also tried some in my Instapot and still no luck! Cornbread and breakfast gravy are exclusively cooked in my cast iron skillet.
@@Dawnofabrightday put a pinch or two of baking soda in the water when you put them on to cook. I have found that it helps to soften the beans as they cook. 😉
@@evinrude1236 thanks! LOL, my Mom used to say putting a pinch of baking soda in pinto beans would cut down on the gas you produce after eating beans. I never saw that one actually work!🤣🤣
I love watching you cook. You cook just like my mom and granny used to cook. I love how you put God first and aren’t afraid to say it. These days people are afraid to say they’re a Christian for fear of being made fun of. So really appreciate you doing that. God bless you and your family. I’m 65 yrs old and always love learning new tricks to make things easier.
I've been collecting those 15 bean bags with the seasoning packet for about 3 years now. I have a tote full of them. They were less than a dollar to start, but now are $3.86 per bag. I figure if my relatives are starving, and show up on my doorstep, I will have enough to feed them for a while.
@@suzieq9009 Consider a container of dry powdered bullion in Hispanic section. $5 for 200 servings. Buy beans separately and mix together. So much cheaper than those bean soup mixes! For $16 I have 6 months bean soup mix. I soak beans 24 hours. (reduces gas).Get new water. Cook with beans and only bay leaf. When still slightly firm, I add a few teaspoons of the bullion, then 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp ground black pepper, 1 chopped fresh onion, 1 fresh jalapeno with seeds, 1/2 bell pepper (frozen strips ok). I cook til done. I used a big crock pot because I'm lazy. My initial bean cooking is overnight. Soup part is about 4/5 hours more. If we want creamy, I puree a cup or two and put it back in. I adjust seasonings before serving because as water evaporates, soup broth gets stronger
Hello Becky, thanks for this basic recipe on how to cook these Dry Beans. They are delicious with salad or vegetables and rolls and fruit for dessert. May the Lord continue using you, from NYC.
I was born in the south. Have been gone many years. Watching you makes me miss home. Still make those beans and cornbread no matter where I live. Thank you for sharing God's word too.
I love your channel!! Think I’d love cooking in the kitchen with ya too! Your cooking tips, techniques are always spot on! Ending with a scripture is everything ✨🙌🏻❤️
I love pinto beans, fried potatoes and corn bread. My mom raised 5 kids on that meal. I still love it today at 75 years old. Thanks for sharing. Blessings.
Thank you for this. I couldn’t help but remember my grandmother and how much we loved going to her house when she would call to let us know she had a big pot of great northern beans that she had prepared with smoked ham hawks. She always served them with cornbread and red onion. I miss those times with my grandma and grandpa as they truly were the heartbeat of our family.
In the South we call this a delicacy! You can’t get a more Southern meal than pinto beans and cornbread! We ALWAYS have them with fried potatoes and pork chops and sliced onions! That’s a great meal!
Ate beans and cornbread with fried potatoes most of my early life. My grandmother ate these almost every day during the depression and war years. Noticing that all kinds of beans are often sold out in the grocery stores, so a few of us still realize the protein dried beans can give us.
Growing up we ate a lot of pinto beans, fried potatoes and cornbread. Sometimes with a wedge of onion. I can remember so well waking up and smelling those beans cooking. We all grew up very healthy. What wonderful memories.
For those who think they don’t like Southern style pintos, if you have refried beans at a mexican Restaurant, well, that’s mashed pinto beans. Pinto bean chili is so warming and filling. Or beans cooked down, not so soupy, with Mexican flavors, chili powder, cumin garlic etc, is a delicious side dish.
I grew up in not knowing what a pinto bean was, but I sure ate a lot of navy beans. I live in the thumb of Michigan where farmers grew navy beans. We didn't get them in plastic bags, but had a 2gallon pail of navy beans in our basement. (We had an extremely dry basement so they kept well) Where did we get these beans? When my dad was done combining beans, he would clean out his combine. The auger wouldn't completely empty the hopper, and you wouldn't want to leave them in there, so he had to clean it out by hand and he saved all the beans and that was enough to last through the year. One year he grew black beans so we had those too. I enjoyed the video. I hope you don't mind me sharing my story. I do buy pinto beans sometimes and enjoy eating them. I feel like they are more exotic than the plain old navy beans. Now that dish you made, is that what we would call baked beans? It's much too thick to be bean soup, eh? When my beans are done soaking, I let them boil an hour before adding anything salty or acidic. I put a little baking soda in the water, just a little. Anyway, Thank you for making a video about cooking dry beans. Many people these days have no clue about how to use them. They are a very inexpensive source of protein, even if you buy them from the supermarket.
This is a wonderful thing for me to learn because my husband and I have been buying soup beans for these times and storing them. We just don't know how to cook them. Now I think we'll have a good start. Your information is wonderful. Thank you so much and God bless you now and forever. 💕🙏
My Mom use to cook something she called Beans Wagon and this sounds like what I remember her doing! Sooooo good! You are right, God is good and will take care of us! He didn't bring us this far to fail us now! He is faithful. Amen 🙏❤️🙏
Thank you, Becky. My southern mother had 5 children and a fulltime job outside the full-time job of running a busy home. She didn't have time for teaching for us how to cook anything. So, these cooking vids are priceless to many of us. I must say mom was a great cook, we always ate good home-cooked meals and our friends always wanted in for breakfast, dinner or supper. God bless you, Becky.
That was such a fun part of being a kid-- eating at other friends' homes. One military base we lived on I was friends with a kid who had a Japanese mom, another had a German mom, another had a Korean mom, one had an Italian-American mom, and me (PA mom). Some very good food memories at those tables for sure. Lol once we ate 2 dinners. The Italian one (pasta e faigoli) and the Korean one (Korean dumplings, kimchi, rice, cucumber salad, and beefy soup). Boy were the moms mad when they found out what we did. 🤣 My mom didn't let me eat over any more because she said I had been a 🐷. 1970's long ago and far away. Lol we did it with after school snacks too. We'd get German cookies, onigiri, and Oreos. Lol all it took was a sad face and trips to different "kitchens". We were pigs.
@@darlingusa2pettee57 It was fabulous until the moms realized we were scamming 2 dinners. Lol they didn't seem to care about after school snacks so we did that until, I guess, every one moved away. Your of duty was 2 or 3 years only.
Hi Becky. I'm a new fan after seeing your channel recently. In nursing school, when we took nutrition, we learned to teach our patients/clients that beans by themselves are an incomplete protein, not as easy for the body to use well, but when they are eaten with rice, together it becomes a complete protein for the body to utilize as well as meat.
Becky, I grew up in Ky. having soup beans just the way you make them, along with the sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, fried potatoes and cornbread. My mom would use salt pork, chunks of ham or a ham hock in her beans, sometimes bacon, depending what she had. She chopped up some onion in the beans and would also slice chunks of onion to eat along with the beans. I love it all exactly like that to this day. We have that at least once a month and it’s one of my favorite meals. I no longer live in Ky., but have not left southern cooking behind! Thank you for all your good recipes and another great video!
I'm in southern WV and we we always had plenty to eat as long as you liked beans and taters or taters and beans! My Mom and the other old timers almost always kept a pot of beans on the stove. And starting with a iron skillet full of good ole cornbread the rest of supper revolved around them beans! I sure miss those days!
Corn bread and soup beans have a long tradition at the table in this family but Fried potatoes is new and a great idea We use smoked neck bones, hocks, bacon almost any smoked or salted meat TY
When we purchase a picnic ham, we save the bone with some good residual meat attached and use that in the pot of beans. Excellent. Been doing it this way for 60 plus years. BC Manchester, TN
Thank you Becky for your presentations. A great reminder of good economics in hard times and keeping things simple. The beans and cornbread at this time of year sure hits the spot. Bless you for all that you do and reminding us that the Lord will see us through.....Michigan
I usually bake a honey spiral ham twice a year. Always a bone and underneath pieces of meat left over. I freeze the bone for lentil soup and use the leftover pieces of frozen meat for soups all winter long. Great flavoring for any soup. I bet I could use a nice piece of frozen meat for the beans. No fat back in nearby supermarkets. Thanks Becky love your channel and always light a candle 🕯 for you Brett and your family at church 🙏🌹❤
Grew up eating what we called “brown beans“ and cornbread. My mom loves to put leftover cornbread in a glass or small bowl and cover with milk and eat it that way! 💕💕💕 I’m glad you add the scripture at the end.!
My dad ate the leftover cornbread in a glass with milk and called it dessert! He continued that all through his life even when he could actually afford "real" desserts.
Gosh, I haven't heard them called soup beans in many years. Thank you so much. 😢🙏💛👍😊 And fat back bacon and cornbread, fried potatoes. Just can't beat it.
My wife passed March 10 2020. I see your ring is off I still wear mine. I don't sleep at night much. But knowing that so many went home to Jesus makes me realize alot of people miss there love ones. So thank you for keeping on with your life it helps us all. See you at the Gates n Thank you. Gods powerful love consume you always Amen
My mom dad and grandparents cooked Pinto beans and also they would drain some of the juice off pinto beans and make pinto bean dumplings. Amazing and I loved them. 🤗
I actually made a crockpot of white beans with ham and sausage today. My momma told me a little secret when making beans. Add a little bit of sugar. And i always do what my momma says. Comes out delicious every time.
I always bought beans to put in pie crust that needed to be partially baked. I really love bean soup, so I tried to make pinto beans and boy oh boy! It was so delicious. So now I buy extra, some for pie weights and some for eating!
1 lb of beans, large chopped up onion, salt and pepper and a smoked ham shank with about a pound of ham still on the bone. Cook until the bean are soft.. If you like the texture to be thick crush some of the beans against the pan. I like my thick. I always do a skillet of cornbread. What an excellent meal for a cold nasty winter's day. I love that you put God First, as we all should. Thank you, Bob C
I am so happy that I found your channel over two years ago, you bring me so much inspiration with your versus not to mention your many recipes. Thank you and May God Bless you and your family
Becky I remember many times growing up my mom would make a pot of beans and a pan of cornbread. We would have fresh tomatoes out of the garden, fresh onion and if she had made any kind of salsa we would spoon some of that over it. As far as I was concerned it was food for the gods.
Its a law in the south that you must have cornbread with beans. I love watching your videos,I have learned so much from you. Your spouse is so lucky that you are a talented cook.
Best eating around! I cook an onion, part of a cottage ham in them. I also add about 2 TBSP Bacon grease toward the end. YUMMY! Nice thick soup beans, corn bread and fried potatoes! I defy anyone not to love this meal!!
My grandmother made the best pinto beans! ALWAYS had a pot on the stove. My aunt told me that she used lard. 🙂 Do you have a recipe for fried corn? Gram made that and it was my favorite. Becky, I hope you are doing well. 💞
That chunk of onion in the display brought tears to my eyes...no pun intended... because I could see my mom's beans and ham hock, cornbread and big chunk of onion for me and my dad. I was a daddy's girl so whatever he ate, I ate. Thanks for the memories.❤️
I am the 9th of 10 kids. Learning from granny, mom, older sisters we cooked soley by looking. Fill the pot with beans cover with water just like you said. Miss those days. Good hardy meal with warm cornbread and sliced bread.
Thank you Becky. I think I'll make this for dinner tonight. It's cold here and soup beans and cornbread sounds great right now!!!... Love and blessings to you and your family. Btw, check under your last community post. I think someone's replying to everyone's comments and I don't think it's you love ❤️... Have a very blessed day sweetie. 💕🙏💕🙏💕🙏💕
Thank you & God bless. Saw soup beans for the 1st time on Whippoorwill Holler, wanted to see your version too. Looking forward to adding soup beans & cornbread to my Yankee meal repertoire! What a good, nutritious & inexpensive meal to make.
This is my favorite summertime meal - pinto beans, hot buttered cornbread, fried potatoes, sliced tomatoes, cukes, and onions....and wilted lettuce! YUM YUMMM!
My Grandma used to make beans and corn bread so often!! I learned how to cook from her, she used to tell me the story why she cooked them so much. She said there was a young boy who came over once friends with my dad, and he told her “ Beans is our beefsteak.” and she took that to her heart and always made them with cornbread all the time on the stove every time afterwards. I also learned people make beans and cornbread differently, and it’s so interesting how many people make it so differently.
Can I ask u a question? I don't like pinto beans, infact I'm not a bean eater. But my iron is seriously low and I'm not really a meat eater. I read that chick peas are a good source of iron. But not canned beans because they nutrients are rinsed away. Would I cook them on the stove like these? And not add the pork? I would smash a little bit also? I love her channel 💕. I hope to hear from u! ✌️💓😀
I like mine cooked with a ham hock, onion, green pepper and chili powder. I always keep dried beans in the cupboard - all kinds, although pintos are my favorite. A side of cornbread to go with them is nice too! :)
Never had them with fried potatoes but will try .. I grew up on beans Fried potatoes cornbread and fish on east florida fishing village of Mayport Florida ...I’m 74 and going strong.....loving your videos ...blessings going out to you keep them coming ... you my dear are a blessing to all of us..God is good !!!!!!
Thanks for the message. Young folks really need to learn to cook and eat dried beans. I could eat a country supper every night with beans, fried taters and cornbread.
I'm a native of MD (Washington DC area) and had never even heard of soup beans when we moved to SW Ohio. But there are a lot of KY transplants here and soup beans are a dish around here too.
My step father was Mexican, and he would make pinto beans all the time...then mash them into refried beans. All you needed were those beans and some tortillas and you'd have food for a week for just a couple of dollars. He made his own tortillas also, so it was extra cheap. Thank you for the video, and God bless. †
When I'm blessed with a ham I like to save a little on the bone , and cook the bone over night in my slow cooker or early in the morning 4-6 hrs it will pull a lot of flavor out and cook it with the beans along with onions sometimes with celery. Remember folks you can freeze the ham bone for awhile. That helps to stretch the budget. My grandpa would fix noodles and add to the bean soup. My ma at times would do old-fashion jowl bacon with the Rhine ,or ham Rhine that is so good. Don't see the Rhine on the ham in my neck of the woods any more. Smoked turkey parts are real good with split peas with good garlic 👌😋 nothing more inviting than hot soup. Since I'm the only one to eat such soups and you can't make just a little bit I have and known others to freeze it in freezer bags.
Great show! Have not seen salt pork in 15 years. Beans in an hour: Prep like Becky. Cook 'em in a pressure cooker. I do this often with a cup of beans in 2 pints of water. Eat 'em with chow-chow.
Grew up on beans..still my favorite meal...I do 2 cups white with a generous half cups pintos..cornbread and fried potatoes! Love it! Love your videos! So very sorry about your husband!
When I am having a tough day I love watching you. You always make my day. You are such a sweet lady. I always enjoy watching you. May God bless you and your family. 🙏
Good Evening ,Becky . I was raised up on pinto beans . And other beans and peas . Cornbread fried potatoes and onion . And I still love all kinds of beans and peas. We all need to stay close to the Lord . Praise his wonderful name . Thank you for devotion time Becky . Thanks for sharing all of your recipes. The lord Always Continue To Bless You 🙏🏻.
Hi there Becky! I like to cook pinto beans in my crockpot. I buy a fully cooked and hickory smoked frozen turkey leg at the store. I add it to my beans in the crockpot and let it cook on low overnight. The next day I remove the turkey leg and debone it then place the meat back in the crockpot with the beans. I also fix cornbread to go with it. 😊 Love your RUclips channel! Thanks!

I am from SE Kentucky and I had a uncle Bill from central Kentucky ( he lived to almost 100). Good times!
In Virginia mountains we did too.

These days people are afraid to say they’re a Christian for fear of being made fun of. So really appreciate you doing that. God bless you and your family. I’m 65 yrs old and always love learning new tricks to make things easier.
I've been collecting those 15 bean bags with the seasoning packet for about 3 years now. I have a tote full of them. They were less than a dollar to start, but now are $3.86 per bag. I figure if my relatives are starving, and show up on my doorstep, I will have enough to feed them for a while.
Old beans are sometimes hard to get soft. You might want to rotate stock by eating the oldest first
Great idea. I've been collecting them myself.
I been buying the 15 bean soup to cook and eat along with other beans
@@suzieq9009 Consider a container of dry powdered bullion in Hispanic section. $5 for 200 servings. Buy beans separately and mix together. So much cheaper than those bean soup mixes! For $16 I have 6 months bean soup mix. I soak beans 24 hours. (reduces gas).Get new water. Cook with beans and only bay leaf. When still slightly firm, I add a few teaspoons of the bullion, then 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp ground black pepper, 1 chopped fresh onion, 1 fresh jalapeno with seeds, 1/2 bell pepper (frozen strips ok). I cook til done. I used a big crock pot because I'm lazy. My initial bean cooking is overnight. Soup part is about 4/5 hours more. If we want creamy, I puree a cup or two and put it back in. I adjust seasonings before serving because as water evaporates, soup broth gets stronger
@@happycook6737 oh thank you that sounds good I'll give it a try next grocery run
We buy ham hocks exclusively for soup beans. So good alone or with a little extra ham
I love soup beans. Cornbread and onion. Perfect!!! Yummy 😋
Hello Becky, thanks for this basic recipe on how to cook these Dry Beans. They are delicious with salad or vegetables and rolls and fruit for dessert. May the Lord continue using you, from NYC.
I love beans with raw onions on top served with cornbread. I love watching your videos. You brighten my day .
Raw onion and cornbread is the only way to eat beans! The best!
I was born in the south. Have been gone many years. Watching you makes me miss home. Still make those beans and cornbread no matter where I live. Thank you for sharing God's word too.
I love your channel!! Think I’d love cooking in the kitchen with ya too! Your cooking tips, techniques are always spot on! Ending with a scripture is everything ✨🙌🏻❤️
I love pinto beans, fried potatoes and corn bread. My mom raised 5 kids on that meal. I still love it today at 75 years old. Thanks for sharing. Blessings.
Thank you for this. I couldn’t help but remember my grandmother and how much we loved going to her house when she would call to let us know she had a big pot of great northern beans that she had prepared with smoked ham hawks. She always served them with cornbread and red onion. I miss those times with my grandma and grandpa as they truly were the heartbeat of our family.
In the South we call this a delicacy! You can’t get a more Southern meal than pinto beans and cornbread! We ALWAYS have them with fried potatoes and pork chops and sliced onions! That’s a great meal!
I agree! I personally LOVE ham and beans with corn bread. Give me a serving of that and I will show you a magic trick cuz it will disappear!
Ate beans and cornbread with fried potatoes most of my early life. My grandmother ate these almost every day during the depression and war years. Noticing that all kinds of beans are often sold out in the grocery stores, so a few of us still realize the protein dried beans can give us.
We were raised eating beans and cornbread! I still love them. It was a treat to have potatoes at the same time and a real treat to have ham hock! Wow!
Beans and cornbread was on the table every week or two growing up in the 50's. My favorite beans my mom cooked were butter beans.
Growing up we ate a lot of pinto beans, fried potatoes and cornbread. Sometimes with a wedge of onion. I can remember so well waking up and smelling those beans cooking. We all grew up very healthy. What wonderful memories.
For those who think they don’t like Southern style pintos, if you have refried beans at a mexican Restaurant, well, that’s mashed pinto beans. Pinto bean chili is so warming and filling. Or beans cooked down, not so soupy, with Mexican flavors, chili powder, cumin garlic etc, is a delicious side dish.
I normally add about 1/2 cup cooked rice to my bean soups. Corn bread Yes❣
I just love the Bible verses you choose each time! So comforting!
I grew up in not knowing what a pinto bean was, but I sure ate a lot of navy beans. I live in the thumb of Michigan where farmers grew navy beans. We didn't get them in plastic bags, but had a 2gallon pail of navy beans in our basement. (We had an extremely dry basement so they kept well) Where did we get these beans? When my dad was done combining beans, he would clean out his combine. The auger wouldn't completely empty the hopper, and you wouldn't want to leave them in there, so he had to clean it out by hand and he saved all the beans and that was enough to last through the year. One year he grew black beans so we had those too.
I enjoyed the video. I hope you don't mind me sharing my story. I do buy pinto beans sometimes and enjoy eating them. I feel like they are more exotic than the plain old navy beans.
Now that dish you made, is that what we would call baked beans? It's much too thick to be bean soup, eh?
When my beans are done soaking, I let them boil an hour before adding anything salty or acidic. I put a little baking soda in the water, just a little.
Anyway, Thank you for making a video about cooking dry beans. Many people these days have no clue about how to use them. They are a very inexpensive source of protein, even if you buy them from the supermarket.
My grandparents farmed and I adore hearing farm stories. Thank you for sharing!
Yum love that "hillbilly feast". All the best Becky 😊💕
This is a wonderful thing for me to learn because my husband and I have been buying soup beans for these times and storing them. We just don't know how to cook them. Now I think we'll have a good start. Your information is wonderful. Thank you so much and God bless you now and forever. 💕🙏
Sheri Boyce Cooked pinto beans make delicious chili or a side dish with garlic, cumin, chili powder etc.
“If we have God, we will get through this.”
I needed that this evening. Love your channel! ❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️
My Mom use to cook something she called Beans Wagon and this sounds like what I remember her doing! Sooooo good! You are right, God is good and will take care of us! He didn't bring us this far to fail us now! He is faithful. Amen 🙏❤️🙏
Thank you, Becky. My southern mother had 5 children and a fulltime job outside the full-time job of running a busy home. She didn't have time for teaching for us how to cook anything. So, these cooking vids are priceless to many of us. I must say mom was a great cook, we always ate good home-cooked meals and our friends always wanted in for breakfast, dinner or supper. God bless you, Becky.
That was such a fun part of being a kid-- eating at other friends' homes. One military base we lived on I was friends with a kid who had a Japanese mom, another had a German mom, another had a Korean mom, one had an Italian-American mom, and me (PA mom). Some very good food memories at those tables for sure. Lol once we ate 2 dinners. The Italian one (pasta e faigoli) and the Korean one (Korean dumplings, kimchi, rice, cucumber salad, and beefy soup). Boy were the moms mad when they found out what we did. 🤣 My mom didn't let me eat over any more because she said I had been a 🐷. 1970's long ago and far away. Lol we did it with after school snacks too. We'd get German cookies, onigiri, and Oreos. Lol all it took was a sad face and trips to different "kitchens". We were pigs.
@@happycook6737 The restaurants any big city can't beat that 'roundtheworld dining experience. LOL Sounds wonderful ,tho.
@@darlingusa2pettee57 It was fabulous until the moms realized we were scamming 2 dinners. Lol they didn't seem to care about after school snacks so we did that until, I guess, every one moved away. Your of duty was 2 or 3 years only.
Hi Becky. I'm a new fan after seeing your channel recently. In nursing school, when we took nutrition, we learned to teach our patients/clients that beans by themselves are an incomplete protein, not as easy for the body to use well, but when they are eaten with rice, together it becomes a complete protein for the body to utilize as well as meat.
Never had red beans before bunt I worked on the racetrack in the 80’s I couldn’t believe how delicious they were.. and easy to make
Becky, I grew up in Ky. having soup beans just the way you make them, along with the sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, fried potatoes and cornbread. My mom would use salt pork, chunks of ham or a ham hock in her beans, sometimes bacon, depending what she had. She chopped up some onion in the beans and would also slice chunks of onion to eat along with the beans. I love it all exactly like that to this day. We have that at least once a month and it’s one of my favorite meals. I no longer live in Ky., but have not left southern cooking behind! Thank you for all your good recipes and another great video!
This is as classic of a southern meal as you can get besides biscuits n gravy... Add some sweet tea and enjoy 🤗🤗
I'm in southern WV and we we always had plenty to eat as long as you liked beans and taters or taters and beans! My Mom and the other old timers almost always kept a pot of beans on the stove. And starting with a iron skillet full of good ole cornbread the rest of supper revolved around them beans! I sure miss those days!
Corn bread and soup beans have a long tradition at the table in this family but Fried potatoes is new and a great idea We use smoked neck bones, hocks, bacon almost any smoked or salted meat TY
@@ThatEmoGirl and a wedge of raw onion.
A good pot of pintos and cornbread is so good when it’s cold outside. Thank you Becky. Much love and continued prayers for you.❤️✝️🙏
When we purchase a picnic ham, we save the bone with some good residual meat attached and use that in the pot of beans. Excellent. Been doing it this way for 60 plus years. BC Manchester, TN
Thank you Becky for your presentations. A great reminder of good economics in hard times and keeping things simple. The beans and cornbread at this time of year sure hits the spot. Bless you for all that you do and reminding us that the Lord will see us through.....Michigan
I usually bake a honey spiral ham twice a year. Always a bone and underneath pieces of meat left over. I freeze the bone for lentil soup and use the leftover pieces of frozen meat for soups all winter long. Great flavoring for any soup. I bet I could use a nice piece of frozen meat for the beans. No fat back in nearby supermarkets. Thanks Becky love your channel and always light a candle 🕯 for you Brett and your family at church 🙏🌹❤
Great way to use that bone. The meat will boil off the bone and add a flavor that is hard to beat.
Grew up eating what we called “brown beans“ and cornbread. My mom loves to put leftover cornbread in a glass or small bowl and cover with milk and eat it that way! 💕💕💕 I’m glad you add the scripture at the end.!
My dad ate the leftover cornbread in a glass with milk and called it dessert! He continued that all through his life even when he could actually afford "real" desserts.
@@johnrockwell6088 yes my mother is almost 80 and she still eats it that way too
I still love a glass of cornbread and milk after supper
Gosh, I haven't heard them called soup beans in many years. Thank you so much. 😢🙏💛👍😊 And fat back bacon and cornbread, fried potatoes. Just can't beat it.
My mom cooked soup beans all of my life. I absolutely love them. Thank you for sharing your recipe with us. God bless you you, Becky. ✝️✝️❤️❤️
My wife passed March 10 2020. I see your ring is off I still wear mine. I don't sleep at night much. But knowing that so many went home to Jesus makes me realize alot of people miss there love ones. So thank you for keeping on with your life it helps us all. See you at the Gates n Thank you. Gods powerful love consume you always Amen
I put in a smoked ham hock one onion and a small hole potato, makes a thick juice..
My mom dad and grandparents cooked Pinto beans and also they would drain some of the juice off pinto beans and make pinto bean dumplings. Amazing and I loved them. 🤗
My husband likes pinto beans on chocolate cake! Weird!
I actually made a crockpot of white beans with ham and sausage today. My momma told me a little secret when making beans. Add a little bit of sugar. And i always do what my momma says. Comes out delicious every time.
We used to have beans when me and my brothers would stay at Grandma's house. Thank you for the memories and the great recipe.
I always bought beans to put in pie crust that needed to be partially baked. I really love bean soup, so I tried to make pinto beans and boy oh boy! It was so delicious. So now I buy extra, some for pie weights and some for eating!
1 lb of beans, large chopped up onion, salt and pepper and a smoked ham shank with about a pound of ham still on the bone. Cook until the bean are soft.. If you like the texture to be thick crush some of the beans against the pan. I like my thick. I always do a skillet of cornbread. What an excellent meal for a cold nasty winter's day. I love that you put God First, as we all should. Thank you, Bob C
A great recipe, and a great verse! God bless y'all!
I just think Mrs. Becky is the best. She’s so soothing and always puts a smile on my face.
I am so happy that I found your channel over two years ago, you bring me so much inspiration with your versus not to mention your many recipes. Thank you and May God Bless you and your family
Love your videos ❤️ God bless you 🙏
If you soak pintos for at least 12 hours they don’t burst open when they’re done. My fav meal!
Love your shows.❣️
Becky I remember many times growing up my mom would make a pot of beans and a pan of cornbread. We would have fresh tomatoes out of the garden, fresh onion and if she had made any kind of salsa we would spoon some of that over it. As far as I was concerned it was food for the gods.
Its a law in the south that you must have cornbread with beans. I love watching your videos,I have learned so much from you. Your spouse is so lucky that you are a talented cook.
Her dear husband passed away recently.
Best eating around! I cook an onion, part of a cottage ham in them. I also add about 2 TBSP Bacon grease toward the end. YUMMY! Nice thick soup beans, corn bread and fried potatoes! I defy anyone not to love this meal!!
My grandmother made the best pinto beans! ALWAYS had a pot on the stove. My aunt told me that she used lard. 🙂 Do you have a recipe for fried corn? Gram made that and it was my favorite. Becky, I hope you are doing well. 💞
Fried corn is a fav of mine
That chunk of onion in the display brought tears to my eyes...no pun intended... because I could see my mom's beans and ham hock, cornbread and big chunk of onion for me and my dad. I was a daddy's girl so whatever he ate, I ate. Thanks for the memories.❤️
I am the 9th of 10 kids. Learning from granny, mom, older sisters we cooked soley by looking. Fill the pot with beans cover with water just like you said. Miss those days. Good hardy meal with warm cornbread and sliced bread.
Thank you Becky. I think I'll make this for dinner tonight. It's cold here and soup beans and cornbread sounds great right now!!!... Love and blessings to you and your family.
Btw, check under your last community post. I think someone's replying to everyone's comments and I don't think it's you love ❤️... Have a very blessed day sweetie. 💕🙏💕🙏💕🙏💕
Lol I just replied the same and beans and deer steak hashbrowns and cornbread , oh dear I'm going to over eat tomorrow 🤣
@@maddie-29
But you won't be hungry 🤣🤣
Your probably right, I seen down the comments talking about pinto bean pie I grew up calling it mock pecan pie, now I want to make that as well 🤣🤣
Thank you & God bless. Saw soup beans for the 1st time on Whippoorwill Holler, wanted to see your version too. Looking forward to adding soup beans & cornbread to my Yankee meal repertoire! What a good, nutritious & inexpensive meal to make.
This is my favorite summertime meal - pinto beans, hot buttered cornbread, fried potatoes, sliced tomatoes, cukes, and onions....and wilted lettuce! YUM YUMMM!
My favorite, too!
My mother being from Tennessee we always had beans at supper time God bless you and yours great videos
May God bless you Becky. Your love for Him is an encouragement to your brothers and sisters in the Lord.
My Grandma used to make beans and corn bread so often!! I learned how to cook from her, she used to tell me the story why she cooked them so much. She said there was a young boy who came over once friends with my dad, and he told her “ Beans is our beefsteak.” and she took that to her heart and always made them with cornbread all the time on the stove every time afterwards. I also learned people make beans and cornbread differently, and it’s so interesting how many people make it so differently.
Can I ask u a question? I don't like pinto beans, infact I'm not a bean eater. But my iron is seriously low and I'm not really a meat eater. I read that chick peas are a good source of iron. But not canned beans because they nutrients are rinsed away. Would I cook them on the stove like these? And not add the pork? I would smash a little bit also? I love her channel 💕. I hope to hear from u! ✌️💓😀
@@tinklvsme Chickpeas (garbanzo beans). Basis for hummus. So good with flat bread or cornbread.
I like mine cooked with a ham hock, onion, green pepper and chili powder. I always keep dried beans in the cupboard - all kinds, although pintos are my favorite. A side of cornbread to go with them is nice too! :)
We also use the leftover ham bone from Sunday dinner.
@@williamdelmar3964 Oh my! Sometimes we have a leftover Honey Baked Ham bone. Those are definitely gourmet beans! :)
Never had them with fried potatoes but will try .. I grew up on beans Fried potatoes cornbread and fish on east florida fishing village of Mayport Florida ...I’m 74 and going strong.....loving your videos ...blessings going out to you keep them coming ... you my dear are a blessing to all of us..God is good !!!!!!
Thanks for the message. Young folks really need to learn to cook and eat dried beans. I could eat a country supper every night with beans, fried taters and cornbread.
I'm a native of MD (Washington DC area) and had never even heard of soup beans when we moved to SW Ohio. But there are a lot of KY transplants here and soup beans are a dish around here too.
I just got your cook book. Can't wait to start trying some recipes
I use smoked ham shanks. They have a lot of meat and great flavor!
Pinto beans, fried okra or taters, cornbread, sliced tomatoes...perfect country meal for me 😊💜
My favorite meal. Was raised on pinto beans in our family. This is a meal everyone in Kentucky has ate. Thanks for sharing God Bless ❤️
I make my soup beans(pinto beans) almost every week and I love them!
Becky, I love your faith 🙏🌷
My step father was Mexican, and he would make pinto beans all the time...then mash them into refried beans. All you needed were those beans and some tortillas and you'd have food for a week for just a couple of dollars. He made his own tortillas also, so it was extra cheap. Thank you for the video, and God bless. †
I don't know about any food shortages but I cook beans on a regular basis. These look really good.
When I'm blessed with a ham I like to save a little on the bone , and cook the bone over night in my slow cooker or early in the morning 4-6 hrs it will pull a lot of flavor out and cook it with the beans along with onions sometimes with celery. Remember folks you can freeze the ham bone for awhile. That helps to stretch the budget. My grandpa would fix noodles and add to the bean soup. My ma at times would do old-fashion jowl bacon with the Rhine ,or ham Rhine that is so good. Don't see the Rhine on the ham in my neck of the woods any more. Smoked turkey parts are real good with split peas with good garlic 👌😋 nothing more inviting than hot soup. Since I'm the only one to eat such soups and you can't make just a little bit I have and known others to freeze it in freezer bags.
Great show! Have not seen salt pork in 15 years.
Beans in an hour: Prep like Becky. Cook 'em in a pressure cooker. I do this often with a cup of beans in 2 pints of water. Eat 'em with chow-chow.
Thank you for the bean information and the scripture reading. God bless you and your online viewers .
Grew up on beans..still my favorite meal...I do 2 cups white with a generous half cups pintos..cornbread and fried potatoes! Love it! Love your videos! So very sorry about your husband!
When I am having a tough day I love watching you. You always make my day. You are such a sweet lady. I always enjoy watching you. May God bless you and your family. 🙏
Great to see you again keep the show’s coming and I will keep watching. Gods blessings for you and all your family

Thank you, Becky - good, true Words. And for the soup beans tutorial. Love that Hillbilly Feast. Lord bless you.
Soup beans an corn bread is the best. God Bless you Becky for not just your cooking recipes ,But your faith in the Lord and sharing his word❤
Hi there Becky! I like to cook pinto beans in my crockpot. I buy a fully cooked and hickory smoked frozen turkey leg at the store. I add it to my beans in the crockpot and let it cook on low overnight. The next day I remove the turkey leg and debone it then place the meat back in the crockpot with the beans. I also fix cornbread to go with it. 😊 Love your RUclips channel! Thanks!
