  1. how much juice do these beans have when the recipe is done? I've been cooking them in the crockpot for 5 hours (still on high) and they aren't cooking down at all. help!

  1. This was excellent. I used small red bean and used turkey bacon instead of pork. Also added a little bit of smoked paprika for a little more smoky flavor. I could eat a bowl for breakfast, lunch then dinner. Will definitely be making again.
     
  2. Instead of adding meat, I just put in a couple tablespoons of bacon grease. I also doubled the water and the salt, and they turned out perfect. Easy, cheap and yummy. Thanks!
     
  3. This was a very scrumptious recipe. I added a smoked Turkey leg and wing instead of the bacon. Overall I will be adding this recipe to my rotation.
     
  4. Hmmm!! These beans were very good. Made it just as written. Thank you.
     
  5. I am making these for lunch tomorrow and I just tasted them. I had to come on and give my 5 stars for this delicious recipe! I can't wait for tomorrow. I did use lean salt pork instead of the bacon, and cut back to 1/2 tsp. of the red pepper flakes. Plenty hot enough for me! Thanks for sharing this recipe Paula.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called. Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com. Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net. Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
