I boil the bone separately until the meat falls off then add it to the pot later. Then I boil down the rest of it until you get a nice rich broth that I freeze and use in the next pot of beans. That takes care of most of the seasoning. <br /><br />I like pinto or black beans, great northerns are ok but not my favorite. I can't abide a lima bean.<br /><br />We do the cornbread and milk thing too only with buttermilk instead and I like a sliced green onion in the mix. We always did it in a glass for some reason.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03934108465166160903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-391026052555134300.post-13445799371468450832013-03-26T18:38:40.076-05:002013-03-26T18:38:40.076-05:00Ham makes an excellent dinner, but if it's the...Ham makes an excellent dinner, but if it's the beans that catch your fancy, they're great when placed on the pit, with a little sauce and allowed to get a little of the smoke from the steak while it cooks.

Navy beans, or great northern are my choice, although pinto beans are good, also. What's best about pintos is the last of the pot can be refried and eaten on a toasted flour tortilla.
