It’s cold here finally, love it. I got some Okra from the garden today, this is about all that is left.
Here’s my Spicy Navy Bean recipe:
I scrub, rinse several times, and then soak 2 cups navy beans with fresh water overnight.
In the crockpot with water 2” over beans for 5 1/2 hours on high:
3 ounces of vegetable oil (Smart Balance Omega)
2 small okra (cut up)
3 small green onions (cut up)
7 or 8 small dried whole red pepper pods (Hot) or a teaspoon of red pepper flakes if you don’t have any
1/4 teaspoon Mexican chili powder (just for the beautiful golden color)
1 teaspoon seasoning salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper
After in the bowl I give it a couple twist of a Peppercorn Medley Grinder

Good sounding recipe. We have our beans many ways depending on the mood. I love navy or great northern beans with a big ham hock and seasonings.

Throw in a handful of fresh onions chopped on top and cornbread on the side, maybe even maters if we still have some. That’s some good ole cheap eating.
