In reply to Nadiam57. Yes! The baking soda helps with the gassiness.

I cook my beans almost exactly as you do Ms. Mingo and they come out good. Something else I add is a little 1 inch pad of real butter. Everyone wants to know why my beans taste so good, and I tell them I don’t know. But I never tell them about the butter. Thank you for posting and enjoy every day of your life. Most people waste their time. If one doesn’t see the sun come up every morning and don’t see it go down every evening, well, they have lost most of their lives. I learned that from an old judge who was about 83 when I was only 5 years old.

I’m planning to cook 2 lbs dried beans. I don’t recall if I am supposed to double all the ingredients, green pepper, celery, onion, etc. Can you help me on this one? Thanks!

My in laws use a meat called “pickle tip”. I live in North Mississippi right outside of Memphis Tennessee. I have never heard of this kind of meat called ‘pickle tip’.. Can you give me more information in this kind of meat.. Is it known by another name? And have you ever used this type of meat in your beans?

I always soak overnight in seasoned water too. Must be a Port Allen thang!

In reply to Nadiam57. I have never tried to soak them in baking soda. I soak them until I see white fluffy stuff on the water. Seems to work pretty well for me! Hope you enjoy the recipe!

In reply to Camellia Brand. I know that trick but it prints 11 pages and the instructions are throughout...just would be nice for full recipe to be on one page. Thank you.

I have found the secret for “No Gas Beans” you only cook 239 Beans.
if you cook any more than 239 they will be to forty.

OMG…I think I have found “the recipe”…I can’t wait my mouth is watering! I’ve been told if you soak the beans in with some baking soda it removes the gassiness. How do I print this recipe???
