Recipe Summary Down South Pinto Beans

My grandmother always brought these wonderful pinto beans with pork jowl to the table at mealtimes, along with cornbread and onions. Yummy. A true Southern tradition.

Ingredients | Spinach And Pinto Beans

2 cups dried pinto beans

4 quarts water, or more as needed

4 (1 ounce) slices pork jowl, or more to taste

2 tablespoons white sugar

salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Wash pinto beans thoroughly and place in a large stockpot. Add 4 quarts water, pork jowl, sugar, salt, and pepper. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Reduce heat to a simmer; cook until beans are tender and tasty, 3 to 4 hours. Add water throughout cooking as needed; do not let the beans cook dry.

These beans can also be prepared in a slow cooker. Add all ingredients and set on High. They'll be ready to eat at suppertime.

Use 1 ham hock instead of the pork jowl if preferred.
