Canned broth is part of my preps. We have lots of water, but in a low-to-no-power situation, it will be either hand pumped or hauled. Aldis or Shurfine usually have plain chicken or beef broth for around 60 cents/can.

When I was researching Cowboy Beans recipes, they stated that the old cooks used to save all the coffee dregs to add to the boiling water for the beans. It does taste good and they were out West, so I assume they were also saving water.

Coffee is actually one of my 'secrets' for my BBQ sauce and for my beans. You can't actually taste the coffee, but it does add a depth of flavor to the liquid.

Hmmm...I dunno. Coffee grounds in the beans. Doesn’t sound very appetizing, somehow.
