When the weather turns just the least bit cool, I always think about a great big pot of beans and cornbread. Now that goes back to my Texas days as a child growing up. We always had Pinto Beans and I have to admit, they are probably my favorite. However, hubby was born and raised in Los Angeles – (I know, he has to be the only one) – so he missed out on a lot of good old-fashioned home cooking Texas Style. His favorite is Navy beans, so that is what I am making. They are a good ole’ Texas standby too. Beans & Cornbread – Texas Style
If I were cooking Pinto Beans they would get just a little ham and some onions plus a little salt and pepper. Navy Beans get ham, onions, and a little carrot too. I also had about a cup of chicken broth in the fridge, so I added that to the water too.
