Beans and Cornbread!

[eteller]

Hey times are tight and I was too lazy to go to the grocery store last night. So out came a can of pintos and a box of Jiffy cornbread mix.

1 can pintos (rinsed and drained)
1/2 onion chopped
3 tsp cumin
1 tsp chili power
1 dash Mrs. Dash
couple dashes Texas Pete
a little beer

Simmer for about an hour

1 box Jiffy corn muffin mix
1/3 c milk, I used water (out of milk too)
1 egg
1 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp chopped jalepenos (the pickled kind)

pour in muffin cups or loaf pan and bake at 400F for 20min

Good cheap high protein, high fiber eats, less than a buck!!

I'm a bean freak myself.. Nothing like simmering a pot of white beans, or navy beans all day with a ham hock, then crumbling up a fat chunk of cornbread into the bowl... but then I "ruin" them as my wife says... I add white vinegar for a touch of tartness..

Gunpowder and wadding.

Canned beans and undercooked dry beans tend to be just that. With dry beans if they're soaked overnight then cooked slowly all the next day, the "Gunpowder and wadding" effect is greatly lessened. Salting the beans before they are finished soaking also tends to toughen the skins of the beans, and worsen the effect.

My Dad was the master at cooking pintos and cornbread when I was growing up. That is a classic combo.

BTW, Ed, I'm grew up in Buchanan, just up the road from you and still make the trek to the valley pretty often.

Out of a can or cooked from scratch, if there ain't some cured pork product in there for seasoning, might as well be eating pine cones.

No thanks. Smoked beef sausage of some sort does me good in that area though.

Enjoy,
