Any Home Bakers Here?

I think pintos are about as cheap as you can get, at least here. I don’t know, maybe it’s regional. My neighbor is from the east coast and she uses kidneys. But her chili is very mild and almost sweet, very weird to me.

I grew up in SW PA. My mother always used kidney beans in chili and navy beans for baked beans or ham and bean soup.

I use either kidney beans or pinto beans in chili, lima beans for baked and pinto beans for ham and bean soup.

I do not put any beans in green chili and pork but do serve a side of pinto beans. I also use pinto beans for refried beans.

Mmm! Green chili and pork!

Absolutely use pinto beans or I’ve used pink beans with great results! I’ve never figured out how on earth kidney beans ever made it into chili!

That's how my mom always made it, so that's what I always did too. I might try pinto beans, or a beanless recipe next time.

OK, that is one I've never heard of.

We ate a lot of crock pot pinto beans growing up. I learned to put ketchup on them. It never clicked how poor we were until later.

As long as you were fed and healthy with a roof over your head, that what REALLY matters.

I love okra! I don’t know why. As a kid I only had it in Campbells Chicken Gumbo soup. I thought it was fascinating, still do! We went to a wedding in Texas and I made my bil pull over so I could try it fried from a roadside burger/fried okra place.
