This is comfort food at it's best.

Ingredients

1 lb Bacon. thin sliced

1 lb. Pinto beans

1 Hd Cabbage, cored & cut into wedges

2 Tomatoes, chopped

1 Onion, diced

Pan of CornBread

Preparation

Cook beans on stove per pkg recipe, or in crock pot 8hrs on low. Fry bacon until crisp, crumble. Boil cabbage w/bacon drippings (approx 2tbs) & salt/pepper to taste, until tender.

Prepare CornBread per box instructions or from scratch.

Serve all of this in separate bowls or dishes and let everyone put together there own plate. I prefer starting with a slice of cornbread(buttered), top with portion of pinto beans, add helping of cabbage, sprinkle bacon bits, then top with tomatoes and onions. After assembled in a pile, mix all together and add a squirt of vinegar and/or a bit of hot sauce.

Cook's Notes

I add a ham hock or two to the beans when cooking for extra flavoring.
