Appalachian Pinto Beans, Fried Taters and Cornbread Supper

Pinto Beans with Hog Jowl Bacon

• Pinto beans
• Hog jowl bacon (this is the third day cooking on this pot)

Fried Taters with Onion

• Potatoes (for frying into “fried taters”)
• Onion (to cook with the taters)

Cornbread and Onion on the Side

• Cornbread
• A big sweet onion (served as a quarter alongside the plate)

With just these few ingredients, you’ve got everything you need for a full Appalachian-style supper: a pot of beans that’s been simmered and reheated over several days with hog jowl bacon, a skillet of fried taters with onion in them, and cornbread with a crisp wedge of sweet onion to tie it all together.
