we sang a song similar to that when I was a kid. But, we said beans were good for your heart the more you eat them....... well you figure out the rest!

Nothing like a pot of good home made pinto beans, with bacon to flavor them and simmer all day on the stove just keep adding water to keep em covered, then dish you a bowl full with some Tabasco and a fry pan full of corn bread.

Do you crumble the corn bread into your beans?

I like your tastes. I usually use salt pork when I make beans. I never tried it with straight bacon.

We just cut a pie shape chunk since it is a round cast iron fry pan put a little butter on the bread and set on top and eat along with the beans, after simmering all day beans have added a lot of thickening to the pot, just salt and pepper the beans as you cook them just keep testing the because more they cook, more season they need. For us it is an all day thing put them on in the morning bring to a boil and then turn them down to a low simmer, then keep adding water as needed, and hickory smoked bacon, we tried some maple bacon ruined our beans.

I usually get a couple of ham hocks to season mine. And I put the cornbread in no matter how thick they are, sometimes it looks more like a paste with it in there. My husband likes white bread with his. He calls mine gruel with the cornbread mixed in.
