I made this tonight and it was fabulous! I will be adding to rotation.
This is so delicious thank you!
This is by far the best dish I have ever made! Family loves it, I cook it for events etc!
I always soak my beans no matter what cooking method I use. I also use bacon instead of ham hock. I cook the bacon until it’s crispy. I dice it up and add it back to the beans. I cook the trinity in the bacon fat for extra flavor. I always use chicken stock instead of water for additional flavor.
Absolutely delicious. Other than soaking the dry beans for a few hours before preparing dinner (as suggested by other reviewers) I followed the recipe exactly as written. Served for Mardi Gras over rice and alongside spicy collards and fried okra. Dessert was King Cake from this website. Perfect dinner!
