What kind of meat goes in a pot of beans?

Answer 1

I use smoked turkey wings. Most people use the smoked meat of their choice:

smoked neckbones
smoked pork shoulder
smoked turkey necks or butts
smoked ham hocks

Answer 2

smoked ham hocks-
smoked ham bone-
a mix of ham chunks and bacon-
salt pork-

~Here's a good recipe for bean soup.~
2 ham hocks
1 sliced yellow onion
1 med bag of White or Navy beans.
Get a pot of water. Make sure water is above the beans and ham hocks.
Place everything in it and bring it to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low and cook until beans are soft. (about 2 or 3 hours)
Add some black pepper and salt to taste.
Serve with home made bread and butter.
Now I'm hungry! ;-)

Answer 3

I use ham mostly if you don't have any you can use bacon but its not quite as good. Also I make White Chicken Chili that uses white northern or navy beans and chicken. Its really good and my family likes it. Last week I took it to the staff at work and they ate it all and asked for the recipe. E-mail me if you want the recipe. Good luck, Julz

Answer 4

My grandmother always used a leftover ham bone. or buy some ham hocks at the store.

I don't like the fat it adds.. so when I make beans I flavor it with a smoked pork chop or ham boullion.

Answer 5

Ham

Answer 6

Usually pork. In the case of refried beans, you can use bacon or bacon grease to reach the desired effect.

Answer 7

I use salt pork or bacon, along with the grease.

My Mom uses Smoked Neckbones or Turkey Wings.

Dad uses bones leftover from whatever he barbecued.

Answer 8

typically, it's pork. chopped steak, also known as stew steak, is good, but you can really use anything you want. i usually cook the meat first and then throw it in with the beans in a crockpot.

Answer 9

Well the Pennslyvania Dutch puts ham in with it.

Answer 10
