Super simple and delish! I usually just throw everything for my beans in the crockpot in the morning, and then I don’t have to worry about them till dinner!

My in-laws gave me a 20-pound bag of dried pinto beans. I make these a lot. I usually freeze some and make Ree’s refried beans recipe with part of a batch of these. This makes a lot… but then again, I have 20 pounds of beans to get through…

This is just for the cornbread… It’s fantastic! My favorite cornbread ever.
Some tweaks I like: I usually only use about 1/4 cup total shortening – half butter (on the pan) and half bacon grease (in the bread). YUM. I also like to throw in a cup of frozen roasted corn kernels 2 or 3 tablespoons of sugar because I like my cornbread sweet.
SO GOOD!

THE CORNBREAD ROCKS! Oh, beans are always a great meal… but I am focusing on the cornbread here.
My hubby hails from Texas, and living there now I have come to the realization that beans and cornbread are a basic diet staple. Hubby prefers a real dense corny bread, whereas I like a light and fluffy cornbread… and this recipe marries the two wonderfully! It is very corny but yet comes out fluffy enough to please me… and I will cook/bake anything in an iron skillet so that really pulled me in as nothing done in a seasoned skillet ever comes out bad.
We use a course cornmeal instead of the basic stuff, because we like the texture, and sometimes I add a 1/2 can of creamed corn soup to the bread recipe to give it even more heartiness. I use a medium size skillet so my cornbread is quite thick as I like it that way.
So even if you want to try your own beans, purple hull peas here in Texas, try out this cornbread recipe and you won’t be sad. Mine turns out really dark, more brown than golden, but it is still soft and wonderful inside.
Oh, and after dinner if you have any leftover bread then drizzle some honey over a piece and eat it for dessert. to DIE for.

I’m with txbikergirl. The cornbread is amazing. I love love love cornbread, but I had never made it without sugar. until now. I may never go back to the sweet stuff.
