I have an cook-off in a few weeks and thought i had seen a decent bean recipe on her in the past. Pretty sure i used it once, but can't locate it now. Anyone have a good bean recipe(dry pinto) i can use and hopefully win with! TIA
I used the Texags recipe (except I used real soaked beans) and never did well. After doing about 5 comps and never doing well with really good beans I found one of the winners and tried theirs and they were incredibly salty and definitely not something you would have a bowl of. Comps are weird because they're only taking one bite so you have to over season it seems.HTownAg98 said:
Keep in mind that some places have rules that there can't be anything in the pot bigger than the bean. You may want to sub out the Clamato for V8 Bloody Mary so you don't have to worry about someone having an allergic reaction to the shellfish.
I had heard some feedback that they don't like the green from the fresh cut cilantro or red from the tomato either. The beans that I've seen do very well just look like regular boring beans with miniscule pieces of ham/bacon.ShawnTxAg said:
