BEANSATIONAL

Yeah, I'm back on the ladder again...beans grow fast once they make up their minds.


Sometimes they get ahead of me so I make "Sunday Beans." I shell the gnarly ones for their "shellies" and throw those in with the "big boys" that are too mature to freeze.

These are Kentucky Wonder and Rattlesnake (a Cascade Giant var.).
Add Walla Walla Sweet onion, thick sliced bacon, carrots or baby potatoes. Throw in some leek soup mix (about 1/2 packet) and a cup or so of water.


Put them in the crock pot and let 'em go for a few hours while you play.


Here's the finished product...ummm! Great as a main dish with cornbread or as a side dish with chicken. (You can freeze the leftover broth to use for soup in the fall).

Good stuff, Maynard!
