The Southern Holler: Ham & Beans & Cornbread

To be a true Southern cook, you’ve gotta be able to whip up some beans & cornbread, right? Well, I didn’t grow up with ‘em, but I’m learnin’.... 

I love how this recipe for beans encourages taking out the ham hock, shredding the ham, and adding it back into the beans. Also might’ve broken up a couple bay leaves into little bits, sprinkled in a good amount of onion powder, and added a couple spoonfuls of minced garlic along with a few beef bouillon cubes. Oh, and the cornbread recipe was just the one on the back of the cornmeal.

“Excellent,” said Christopher Robin. And even Eeyore said, “Fantastic; you can make those anytime.” Ruby liked the cornbread and tried 2 beans. Roo ate some cornbread crumbles in his veggie-brown-rice-turkey purée, and I Kanga thought they were pretty delicious too. Gotta love a good recipe! 😉
