Hey Grandpa, What's for Supper?

[Gonna Smoke]

Looking good and agree about the smell. Can't wait for you to see how creamy they get when you mash some beans and add the room temp butter

The butter is on the counter and I'm thinking about 6ish for the coup de grâce. I'm making jalapeno corn "cake" (Jiffy--yeah I'm cheating, but the family loves the sweetness) and some of my cooked collards that I had frozen from this past winter...

A fine meal no doubt!!

 

[tbern]

looks great, enjoy your awesome meal!!

 

[Gonna Smoke]

Mashed up a couple of serving spoonful of the beans to add in...

That looks awesome where's the plated shot of everything or did the mob not allow you near it?

I don't know if it has been mentioned, but soaking the beans is important. When the beans rehydrate, they will start to germinate. This increases the nutritional value of the beans and reduces the amount of gas produced when you eat them.

That's why Chris eats half the bag right out of the bag no soak

Sorry guys, had a house full last night and after a couple of beers, next thing I knew I was asleep. Without further delay, here it is...

I added the butter just before eating...

Made the Jiffy corn cake with cheddar cheese and jalapenos. This was 2 boxes and I made it exactly like the box said. Added about 6 ounces of extra sharp cheddar to the mix and poured it into a greased dish. Then I added the fresh chopped jalapenos to one half and mixed them in...

Served with some collards that I cooked and froze this past winter.
Time to eat...

This was a hit!! With the exception of a couple of substitutions, I made this exactly like Jake posted and other than doubling the recipe, I didn't add or omit anything. I'll do it that way again. I'll bet that I heard it at least a dozen times by those here, "This is really good." For anyone who's on the fence about making this, jump off and get to it, you won't regret it.

I have a couple of family members whose tolerance for heat and spiciness is low so I was a little concerned, but they loved it. For those who may be concerned about that, you could use regular smoked sausage, back off the Cajun seasoning or cayenne pepper some, but I think you'll be missing very important flavor components.

As Jake said, "Flavor town!!"

Thank you, Chris!! I had my brother-in-law here from Pennsylvania visiting. We ate and were just sitting around talking, the grands were running around playing and next thing I knew, it was 2:00. Rookie mistake...
