One of my husband's favorite meals is bean soup and cornbread. Because he has to work this rainy, dreary Sunday, while the kids and I are being lazy, I am making this for him tonight for supper. After soaking a pound of great northern beans overnight, I put them in the crock pot with a can of chicken broth, a chicken bullion cube, a slice of onion, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and black pepper, a dash of liquid smoke, 4 carrots, chopped, 4-5 potatoes, peeled and cubed, a slice of country ham and 4 cups of water. (Keep an eye on it, you may need to add more water) I will let this all simmer on high in the crock pot all day. Before serving, remove the slice of ham, trim to remove any fat or bone, then finely chop the meat and return to the beans. Serve with cornbread.
When he comes in from work tonight he will peek into the crock pot and say the same thing he always does when I fix this. I think he just likes to watch me roll my eyes at him, "What a meal, beans and taters!"
Happy Sunday everyone!
