I've been wanting some white beans for a while so today I decided to cook a pot of dried Navy Beans Blue Runner Navy Beans to be more precise. I like their dried beans.
Got some leftover ham in with onions, celery and bell pepper cooking down before adding the beans and chicken stock. I can't wait! Might make some corn bread too.

Since I'm hanging around the house today cooking Navy Neans I decided to get a jump on tomorrow evening's dinner. Rice and gravy, well, at least the meat and gravy part. Borwned up some beef(no, I don't remember what cut it was)seasoned simply with salt and black pepper. Removed the meat and caramelized some diced onions then returned the meat and added water. Let that come to a light boil and turned down to a low simmer with the lid on to braise until fork tender.

I wisked a half stick of butter into them to emulsify and get 'em a bit more tasty.
Will be putting a cheesy jalapeno cornbread in the oven shortly.
-

-

-

Never put butter in before but after seeing your cook I will next time.
-
Those are some proper beans!!! Don

The butter whisked in as it melts mixes just right smooths it out nicely and helps to thicken the gravy.
So the cornbread came out pretty good.

Those look absolutely delicious.
I love beans and cornbread.
I usually wait until I have smoked a butt and then cook the beans with a good portion of the butt in them.
Add some fried potatoes & maybe some fried turnips and I will eat my fill.
-
Nate...you are killing me dude..... ;D That all looks incredible!
Roget - do you add the taters and turnips to the beans - or as a side dish?
-
teesquare... I prepare them as a side, but my favorite way to eat them is to plate the cornbread, then the spuds and turnips on top, and then drown it all with the beans and bean gravy.
V. calls it my "garbage plate".

Final plate look delicious!!! Don
