Gonna take a Lb. of dried pintos, A smoked turkey leg and thigh that I froze about a month ago from a bird I smoked,then some smoked turkey sausage a buddy of mine made up,a can of fire roasted tomatoes, a couple red peppers and vidalia onion sauteed up, with some chicken stock, garlic... and just found a couple smoked ribs will add to the mixture ... What a good way to mix it all up ... being an old guy ... nothing better than a batch of beans ..will crock pot these tomorrow . well... gonna soak these beans overnight ...

   9 Days vacation ... Who knows what we all will make ... lol...

Yeah, looking to clean up some leftovers ... we are adding a couple of the country ribs to the mix,a and if you grew up when I did,some good cooked meat, always ended up in a pot of beans....lol ...these beans I am sure,will be  a good good mix ....
 
Whatever you make on that vacation, you'll have a kick**s side to go with it, and if you don't feel like cooking you have a ready made meal!

Well, I bought last week a half bushel of red peppers, and will use them in the beans tomorrow , wife is actually making stuffed peppers for dinner, I was wanting to make a batch of beans for a while .. now on vacation ... have been makin some stuff ... breakfast fattie later this week.. lol
 
I have pre cooked my beans before adding them in the slow cooker a few times.. like 2 hours at a simmer.. I never get the beans soft enough by leaving them in the slow cooker the entire time.. but I use navy beans mostly. Also I don't add salt till the last few minutes.. I like to buy the smoked turkey legs or smoked shanks.. the shanks have more meat than the hocks.

I add an Italian seasoning mix.. spg as well, and taste em after a while, i did saute onions and peppers with this 
 
5 hrs in .. Had a small "test bowl". gonna let em go another hr. some beans not quite done... but all ingredients released and flavor is good..
 
Do you ever take and mash up some to thicken it if it's soup? I make bean and ham soup and will take a couple ladles full out and put it in the food processor. Then return the thickened stuff back into the soup pot and stir it..

No, never did that, but, I have added corn starch / and beans broth mixture, To do this, just pour off at least 2 or 3 cups of the cooking liquids into a separate saucepan, and then make a slurry with cold water and a tablespoon or two of cornstarch. Stir the starch into the bean  juices and cook them on the stovetop until the sauce thickens. Then stir it back into your beans .............................

 but these cooked up nice, not thick at all ... just a good bowl of beans .. the turkey leg fell apart ...

Looks like some good color in the broth. Nice! Yeah.. we don't make beans as in beans and cornbread southern style here. It's more bean and ham style soup or baked beans..
