Did about 15 gallons of soup over the winter and it rocked. Did "low phat" red beans today. No bacon or bacon grease. Doc says gotta lower goop levels. Tried something new, instead of soaking dry beans in just plain water, I put my seasonings in the soak water so the beans would draw them in instead of tryng to cook the favor in. It worked great and helps overcome the fact that I had to leave the best ingrediant out.......a pound of bacon and all the grease therefrom. Don't know what I'll do next. Gotta a bunch of pork on sale last night. Can't beat $.99 a pound.
(Heck, I'll buy dog crap for $.99 a pound...but it don't taste near as good...lessun you got bacon grease in it.)
