So good you'll eat to the point of pain. |

My father taught me this Texas recipe for Beans & Bacon, and it's so good, you'll have trouble cutting yourself off or sharing with others:
15-bean soup mix 1 quart fresh tomatoes 1 large yellow onion 1/4 cup minced garlic 1 lb. smoked bacon 2 tbps butter baking soda 1/2 teaspoon chili powder 1/4 teaspoon cumin
Soak 2/3 of beans overnight with 1/2 teaspoon baking soda (to prevent gas) Rinse beans and place in crockpot with: sliced tomatoes sliced onion sliced bacon (for low-fat version, cook bacon halfway and drain off fat) garlic 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
Cook in crockpot on high for 5 hours, adding chili powder and cumin to taste after 3 hours Just before eating, add butter
Try to limit yourself to 3 bowls, if you can. It's not easy.
Alternately, you can add two pinches of brown sugar and some cinnamon.
Finally, eat as much as you can, because unless you're a vegetarian, you won't want to share any of it.
Once it's cooked, never let it get cold. It has to be kept hot or thrown away. Leftovers are never as good.

It's better that way. I add water almost to the top of the pot.
I can't stop eating this stuff. Man, it's so good.
