Yep!

I forgot the catsup and vinegar in my EZ recipe.

Sorry 'bout that!

With the beans, brisket.

whoa...!

First thing ya need is lots of time and a deep cast iron skillet, bigger the better.

A pound of Hickory smoked bacon diced up to half inch pieces and browned crisp. Leave grease in pot.

A pound of Jimmy Dean Sausage browned with bacon and grease.

A pound of smoked beef sausage diced up, I like Hillshire.

A pound of diced up smoked pork chops..

A really big sweet onion diced.

Some garlic cloves sliced up.

Couple of Anaheim peppers diced.

One bag of Hurst Hambeens 15 Bean Soup, Cajun, 20 oz, you can order 4 packs off of the internet.

Half bag of small red beans soaked over night.

Drain and rinse beans and dump in pot after other ingredients are browned and in.

Couple of bay leaves, basil and thyme.

Coarse black pepper to taste.

Seasoning salt to taste. Do it last as the meats are salty.

Smoked Paparika to taste.

Toss in some red chili flakes or some hot chilis if ya got them.

A little brown sugar, but go easy, same with the vinegar.

A 16 ounce can of diced Rotilla tomatoes.

Cup of your favorite sweet and spicy barbecue sauce.

One cube of butter.

Bring it all to a slow boil and simmer on stove till beans start to break down, then throw it in the oven with the lid on and bake it on 220 for a minimum of 4 hours.

Keep a shaker of red pepper flakes and Tabasco close by.

Call me when it is done and I will show you how to eat a bunch of it.

Not bad for a country boy Richard!

thank you for this i will def try making this...out of sheer curiosity to see the sum of the parts

Dont be fooled.

He only wants to cook your recipe so he can make fun of it to all his French pan having friends......

just figured out what this meant, wasn't easy, i'm sure by design

Disappointingly enough.....your French Pan having friends were vindicated by the most recent America's Test Kitchen Top Ten review of Dutch Ovens.



Although the Cuisinart enameled pan came in a fairly close second......and 300(!) dollars cheaper!

i use the Le Creuset DO far more than sporting/shooting gear having many times the value

Yes. Thats the funny thing about it.


A person might drop a couple thousand on a new scope or a grand on a phone......but search the ditches for parts to get his crappy stove working again.


400 bucks for a new stove is too damn expensive!

no use tellin people how to spend their $$

Just between us gals.......I would love one of them French dutch ovens.


Unfortunately, I am very poor.


The Lodge communist dutch oven serves me well.....and is finally paid for.

maybe not where you live, but where i live estate sales are popular, thrift shops...they turn up and go cheap. few weeks ago, saw a Staub for 12 bucks, would'a got it except the lid teetered just a bit
