Beans, Beans, Beans

I mentioned before that I am trying to get more beans into our weekly menu. They are inexpensive & nutritious. Last night I made Black Bean Sloppy Joes for tonight's dinner and today I am making Baked Beans. I am using my Nana's recipe. She uses a bean pot but I am using crock pots. I soaked the beans overnight and then drained & rinsed them this morning. I didn't have any fatback in the house so instead I improvised with 3 ham steaks we had on hand. They are now set to cook for at least 8 hours.


Adding All the Ingredients
I added 1.5 ham steaks to each crock pot.


Covering the Beans with Boiling Water

See Ya in 8 Hours!
