I'll soak a lb of pinto beans, cover them with water and cook L&S with an onion, chili powder, a little thyme, jalapeno, salt pork, some garlic.....add a can of stewed tomatoes at the end. Usually on the stove 4-5 hours before it's cooked down and beans are nice & tender. Literally can make a meal with that and maybe some flour tortillas or cornbread. Collard greens on the side with some bacon would be over-the-top.......
