Whenever I smoke ribs, I trim off the skirt meat as well as the brisket rib tips and smoke them along with the ribs.
But instead of enjoying them along with the ribs, I save them for my winter comfort food: bean soup!
BEAN craving some since the snow started flying.
Nothing fancy, just follow the instructions on the package of Hurst's HamBeens Brand 15 Bean Soup.
1 lb Ham and Ham Bone (OR use diced smoked skirt meat and rib tips!)
1 Cup Onions
1 Cup Celery
1 15 oz. Can of Stewed Tomatoes
1 t Chili Powder
Juice of One Lemon (approx. 3 T)
2 t Minced Garlic
2 Bay Leaves
1 Bag HamBeens Brand 15 Bean Soup Beans
Directions:
Simmering along nicely!
And finally, the fruits of your labor!
Thanks for viewing,
