Another was her pinto beans. She'd make them in the Dutch oven too because they would last through more than one meal. We were pretty poor, so the beans substituted for meat a lot of the times.
She'd add bacon grease as they were cooking. She'd serve them in different ways. Mine favorite was like a taco only the corn tortilla was laid flat on the plate then the other things were added on top. I could only eat one but my brothers she'd layer the tortillas and stuff. Mmmmm good.
I did make beans, once. I kept adding more beans and it looked like it wasn't going to be enough. We ended up with the beans to the top of the Dutch oven. I just bought them in a can after that.
