So good you'll eat to the point of pain.
Advertisements [?]
My father taught me this Texas recipe for Beans & Bacon, and it's so good, you'll have trouble cutting yourself off or sharing with others:

15-bean soup mix
1 quart fresh tomatoes
1 large yellow onion
1/4 cup minced garlic
1 lb. smoked bacon
2 tbps butter
baking soda
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cumin

Soak 2/3 of beans overnight with 1/2 teaspoon baking soda (to prevent gas)
Rinse beans and place in crockpot with:
sliced tomatoes
sliced onion
sliced bacon (for low-fat version, cook bacon halfway and drain off fat)
garlic
1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Cook in crockpot on high for 5 hours, adding chili powder and cumin to taste after 3 hours
Just before eating, add butter

Try to limit yourself to 3 bowls, if you can. It's not easy.

Alternately, you can add two pinches of brown sugar and some cinnamon.

Finally, eat as much as you can, because unless you're a vegetarian, you won't want to share any of it.

Once it's cooked, never let it get cold. It has to be kept hot or thrown away. Leftovers are never as good.
