These beans were excellent but I may add little less water in the beginning. My kids don’t like the vegetables so I pureed them so they wouldn’t know they were there.

These beans were fantastic. I used a ham shank because that’s just what I had on had. I also pureed the vegetables after steaming them because my boys won’t eat anything that resembles onions or peppers. I also drained a bit of the liquid out and added diced skinless sausage links because my kids love them. I would definitely make this again.

These are so delicious! I love beans and cornbread, but sometimes it’s nice to have a variation. Just the right amount of spiciness. Thanks Ree!
I did do a “quick soak” of these before I started cooking them. They turned out great!

These are wonderful! I speeded up cooking the beans by doing the 1st phase in a pressure cooker. I added the ham hock, beans and water to the cooker, brought up to pressure and cooked for 30 minutes. Then I just added the beans and the vegetable ingredients to a soup pot and cooked everything for about another 2 hours, and finished by adding the chili powder, salt and pepper.

My husband made this recipe using sliced smoked turkey sausage instead of a hamhock. The beans were outstanding! We’ll definitely make this again. Both of us loved it!

I was excied to see this recipe on PW because my stepmom’s sister used to make something similar. The flavor brought back memories. I left out the ham because I don’t eat pork, I replaced it with a meaty marrow bone instead. Thank you!

In the picture on the blog, I see that you took a picture of 4 POUNDS of beans. Is the recipe supposed to be for 4 cups or 4 lbs? I used 2 lbs (4 cups). Maybe that is why my final dish was so watery. Sheesh.
