• beans and bacon

    white navy beans on bread [...] almost like beans in bean
    gravy.

    White beans aren't just for baked beans in tomato and molasses
    sauce. They are good boiled, rinsed off, chilled and turned into
    bean salad,

    One of my favourite ways to use them is a Quebec style barbecue
    dish: cooked white beans with lard, garlic, onions, and thyme in a
    heavy cast iron pot covered with a soaking wet burlap bag buried in
    the sand at the beach with hardwood coals in the pit left overnight.
    The burlap lets the smoked infuse the beans without letting them get
    sandy.

    in England: baked beans / on toast / British breakfast item.

    fried bread / in at least a quarter inch of bacon fat.

    Yeah I do that too on occasion (not every day mind you as I'm not a
    farm labourer or a construction worker any more). I learned that as
    a kid from my uncle who deep fried his eggs in bacon fat every
    morning.

    there bacon was not at all like our "streaky" bacon. Usually a
    round one inch size of lean pork surrounded by pork fat --
    often with a tail

    They baconize all sorts on pig parts including the jowl and the neck
    collar. The kind you're referring to is a slice of loin (like our
    back bacon) with the pork belly, where the streaky or side bacon
    comes from, still attached.

    Title: Bacon Cheeseburger Pizza
    Categories: Bacon, Pizza, Cheese, Beef
    Yield: 6 Servings

    8 sl Bacon; cut into 1/2" pieces
    1 lb Ground beef
    3/4 c Onion; chopped
    1/4 c Prepared mustard
    1 1/2 c Cheddar cheese; grated
    1/2 c Dill pickle chips; drained

    Fry bacon until almost done (it will cook a bit more in the oven).
    Drain on paper towel. Cook the ground beef until it is no longer
    pink. Drain. Saute the onion in a small amount of oil until it is
    soft.

    Bake your favorite pizza crust at 425 degrees for 5 - 10 minutes just
    until it begins to brown. Remove from oven and spread with mustard.
    Top with ground beef and onion and return to oven for another 5 - 10
    minutes until crust edges are lightly browned. Add the bacon, pickles
    and cheese and return to the oven until the cheese has melted. Remove
    from the oven and enjoy.

    Note: If you don't like warm pickles, you can add them just before
    serving.

    I don't think I would like dill pickles in a pizza. Maybe a little
    diced jalapeno or other medium hot pepper sauteed with the onion
    would be nice. -JW

    ... Cook until really tender which, for some beans could be days.

    Here is something else (one of my favourites) that white beenz make
    wonderful use of. Lately I've been using diced tomatoes w/chopped green chilies in place of the naked diced tomatoes. And I always have some
    small diced onion to pass as a garnish. Recipe is very crock-pottable
    as well.

    1 lb Ham hocks
    1 c Chopped onion
    3/4 c Chopped celery
    3/4 c Sliced or diced carrot
    14 1/2 oz Can diced tomatoes;undrained
    +=OR=+
    8 oz Can tomato sauce
    1 ts Salt
    Pepper
    4 c Water

    Put Soaked beans in a large saucepot; add 4 cups water
    and remaining ingredients except salt. Cover and cook
    1 1/2 to 2 hours, until beans are tender. Add the salt
    (to taste) 15 minutes before removing the pot from the
    heat source.

    Take the soup off the stove and fish the hocks out.
    Strip everything from the bones and give the bones to
    your dog/cat. Return the flesh to the bean pot.

    If a thicker soup is desired, mash a few of the beans
    against the side of the pot until the desired viscosity
    is reached.

    The "bacon" rashers I recall did not have as much loin as that picture.
    Rather anywhere from a one inch round to about the size of the hole when
    you touch your thumb to your forefinger. The streaky tail usually had a
    1/4 or less round piece of gristle in it.

    Here is something else (one of my favourites)
    Title: Navy Bean Soup

    I love navy bean soup and make it often.

    2 c Dried navy beans
    1 lb Ham hocks
    1 c Chopped onion
    3/4 c Chopped celery
    3/4 c Sliced or diced carrot

    I'm with you so far.

    14 1/2 oz Can diced tomatoes;undrained
    +=OR=+
    8 oz Can tomato sauce

    But I rarely add tomato products and if I do it will be a very
    scanty amount of tomato sauce, maybe 4 oz for 4 cups of broth,
    probably less.

    1 ts Salt
    Pepper

    I often add winter savory, the "bean herb". Mustard powder and just
    a wee pinch of cayenne are also nice.

    Put Soaked beans in a large saucepot; add 4 cups water
    and remaining ingredients except salt. Cover and cook
    1 1/2 to 2 hours

    I like to saute my onions and celery briefly first and add all the
    vegetables in for just the last 15 to 20 minutes.


    Cheers

    ... You missed an adverb. It's not just bean soup; it's super bean soup

    I grew up eating bean soup with freshly diced onion sprinkled on as a
    garnish and maybe a small shot of catsup stirred in. No celery or
    carrots in the mix. Then I got out into the "real" world and discovered
    a bean soup that had all of those thing and I quite liked it. So, guess
    what?

    1 ts Salt
    Pepper

    I often add winter savory, the "bean herb". Mustard powder and just
    a wee pinch of cayenne are also nice.

    I've been known to add a small amount of oregano or basil from time to
    time. I'm unfamiliar with winter savory but a bit of research tells me
    I'll be adding a small supply to my next Amazon order just to try.

    Oh, and if I'm doing the diced tomatoes w/green chilies I won't need
    the cayenne to zip things up. Bv)=

    Put Soaked beans in a large saucepot; add 4 cups water
    and remaining ingredients except salt. Cover and cook
    1 1/2 to 2 hours

    I like to saute my onions and celery briefly first and add all the vegetables in for just the last 15 to 20 minutes.

    And I add the veg after the beans have been boiled hard to begin the
    starch conversion then reduced to a simmer.

    Title: Bacon & Bean Soup
    Categories: Soups, Pork, Beans, Vegetables, Beef
    Yield: 8 Servings

    3 sl Back bacon
    3 Ribs celery; chopped
    2 md Carrots; chopped
    1 md Onion; chopped
    1 c Chopped turnip (opt)
    3 c Beef broth
    1 Bay leaf
    1/2 ts Thyme
    19 oz Can Navy OR pinto beans
    - drained and rinsed

    Prep time: 25 minutes.

    When the vegetables are finely chopped it takes only a
    short simmering time to develop and blend the flavours
    of the bacon and assorted winter vegetables. The beans
    add character and a heartiness that is satisfying.

    And an added plus - the soup is better a day or two
    after it is made. Store it in a covered container in
    the refrigerator.

    Cut bacon into thin slivers. In a 12 cup saucepan,
    combine bacon, celery, carrots, onion, turnip, beef
    broth, bay leaf and thyme. Bring to a boil; reduce
    heat, cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until
    vegetables are tender. Add beans and continue to
    simmer 5-10 minutes or until hot, and flavors are
    blended. Remove the bay leaf and ladle into warm
    soup tureen or soup bowls.

    Makes 8 servings.
