Tips:

  • Rinsing the beans thoroughly before cooking will help to remove any dirt, debris, or impurities.
  • Using a slow cooker is a great way to cook beans because it allows you to set it and forget it. You can also cook them on the stovetop if you prefer, but you will need to keep an eye on them and stir them occasionally.
  • Adding diced onions, garlic, and bell peppers to the beans will help to add flavor and depth to the dish.
  • Using a good quality bourbon will make a big difference in the flavor of the beans. Choose a bourbon that you enjoy drinking neat.
  • Adding a bit of brown sugar or molasses to the beans will help to add a touch of sweetness and balance out the flavors.
  • Serving the beans with cornbread, rice, or mashed potatoes is a great way to complete the meal.
