Dad’s beans

This is dads recipe

  • crock pot
  • 2 lbs of beans
  • Jack cheese
  • Lard
  • boiling water
  • Large pan

For whole bean phase:

  • Add boiling water and beans to pot and make sure the beans are covered with water over and above beans to the tune of 1 inch water per lb
  • Set for 3 hours on high pot setting.
  • Once they start to boil add salt ( 1 heaping soup spoon per lb of old school salt)
  • Boil til done.

To fry:

  • Melt about 3/4 ladle size spoon of lard in large skillet
  • Take out any water that is over the level of the beans.
  • Pour the beans in the melted lard
  • Simmer and stir for 3-4 minutes
  • Puree the beans.
  • Once you puree you melt in 1/4 to 1/2 lb of Monterey Jack per lb of beans

To refry

They will kinda solid, (like your arteries) so when you refry them you can add a little whole milk and maybe cheese. Above all, if you can, refry them in bacon grease.

Do’s and don’ts:

  • Do throw caution to the wind
  • dont under salt/lard, you can be vegan another day
