- We picked up 50 lbs of beans this morning including a new variety we have never tried before. Now to prepare them for long term storage and to make up a batch of delicious bean soup with the cattle beans.
Products:
5-Gallon White Buckets with Lids, Pack of 5 amzn.to/41HOT3g
White Gamma Lids for 5-Gallon Buckets, Pack of 12 amzn.to/3TE4U8t
Bean and Bacon Soup with Vegetables
2 cups dry beans (We used our new cattle beans)
Rinse beans and drain. Place beans in a large pot and cover with fresh water to 2 inches above the beans. Bring to a boil and cook for ten minutes. Turn off heat and allow to sit for one hour. Drain and rinse and cover with fresh water slightly above the level of the beans and simmer for 1-2 hours.
While beans are cooking, fry 1/2 lb bacon, remove from pan, crumble, and set aside. In the same pan you cooked the bacon, add about 1 cup each of sliced carrots, diced onion, diced celery and on very low heat, saute the vegetables until the pan is deglazed and the bacon fat has been absorbed.
When the beans are nearly done, add the vegetables and the following:
2 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp each dried oregano and dried basil
8 oz tomato sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
Simmer for about 60 minutes until beans are soft, veggies are done, and flavors are blended.

Who else loves this channel? As soon as I see a new video posted, I click on and watch! Pam and Jim are the best. 😊
Me. Too!!
Me, three.
I’m so glad I found this channel, I trust Pam and Jim’s advise, because they seem to know what they are talking about.
And hit the thumbs up 👍 as soon as the video starts because you know in advance it will be a good one!
I’m the same! She is so funny and explains everything so. Well!!
Pam, thanks so much for being so real! You could edit out your boo-boo's but you show us that everyone makes mistakes now and then. You regroup and move on. I really appreciate that about you!
You are so welcome! Jim
I've been told that old beans couldn't be cooked till soft. We found several two-pound bags of pinto beans in a tote container and I'm pretty sure they are over10 years old. I decided to use my Instant Pot Max and pressure cook some for an hour to see if they would get tender. They did get tender, and I added pork, onions, garlic and salt for a great tasting soup. That was two weeks ago, and we didn't get sick and die, Lol
I also have 10 yr old beans and I just wash them and put them in the crockpot to cook all day with ham and onions and garlic, salt, and pepper. Yum 😋 the only thing good about colder weather. Warms the house and smells good all day.
To soften old beans add 1 tsp of baking soda to the final cooking water. Works great for cooking them on the stovetop or open fire if you do not have access to a slow cooker or instant pot.
I was given 50 lbs of old pinto beans and so far I’ve only canned them but they worked great.
I had some old beans and when I went to soak them the skins started coming off! Not just a few, the majority. I decided they were not good and tossed them. Broke my heart to toss em. They may have been edible still, idk
I have canned 30 year old beans. I am not sure where the idea comes from my beans turned out lovely.
"New beans, I've never tasted them yet", buys a giant bag--just another thing I love about you two! 🌞
They definitely have adventurous spirits!
I wonder what the speckles are from and I wonder why they went away with cooking. Does anybody know why cattle beans have speckles and that they go away when they are cooked?
I love that you do not hide your mistakes! We are all going to make them, but learning from yours might prevent us from having wet beans and not knowing what to do with them!
Jacob cattle beans are the best as a baked bean with molasses 😋😋
I found this channel when they had less than 200k subscribers.
Have enjoyed it. 😅 they must talk again about Jim's morning visit carrying a bouquet of red roses. I thought how gusty, but it workedo.❤😂
Canning Beans and Ham this morning and who shows up? Pam and Beans! Watched on my Chromebook while I canned 14 quarts. Can't miss an episode. YeeHaw from Central Texas ♥♥♥
I’m doing pints! Also doing beans! It’s so nice to have them on the shelf. West Texas here.
@@beatriceannbaker3350 would you mind sharing your recipe? Do you can with beans fully cooked?
@@Christifidelis1 you will seriously disappointed but here it goes!!
Soak beans over night. Pour off water. I use like 1/12 pounds of beans. Add two cans of diced tomatoes, one onion, 3 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce, garlic (as much as your heart tells you to) and fiesta brand seasoning makes a pinto bean seasoning. Add 3 Tbsps and then add 3 more. Add 1 can green chilies like hatch. All of this should be in a big pot. Put in enough water to make it soupy. Fill jars around 1/2 full with this bean mixture and then fill the rest of the way with water. Pressure can 70 minutes basically to cook them. I did a TikTok on it and got so much hate! But they are delicious. I’m not going to have a ham hock when shtf. Spices will save us!! 🥰🥰

@@Christifidelis1 oh and I use 2 TBsp of the beef base!!
My bean and lentil hack is to add one jar of salsa then the rest of the measurement you were going to put in of either broth or water depending on what you're making. It already has every single thing you were going to add anyway. You won't need to Salt it. It'll have the right amount of pepper. You don't have to measure out a bunch of other stuff. It's just ready.
Brilliant!!
Good advice!
I do that, too. I also sometimes use marinara sauce as a shortcut, for the same reason.
I’m so glad you made that mistake of wet beans! Of course I’m happy you discovered it too, but what I’m trying to say is I now know what it looks like…I know what to look for! I’m a visual person and I’m always asking “ok, I get it. But what will it look like?” Now I know and know what to do if that happens to me! Thank you Pam & Jim…♥️
I cook all my beans in chicken broth...adds another layer of flavor.
You are so darn cute when you get silly!!!! Love to see more of that side of you. Love the natural curly hair too. Thank you Pam!
Oh thank you! Jim
Remember that the USDA says Small Red beans have the most protein of the bean group.
Plastic buckets are porous and should be lined with a mylar bag to have your food be safe for years. I love how are you do all your research and are very thorough with everything you teach. Thank you so much for all of your diligence and willingness to share. Hugs
I hadn't heard of cattle beans before :-) If you plan to store them long-term, I would recommend that you put them in heat-sealed Mylar bags with Oxygen absorbers inside the bags and then store those bags in the sealed buckets. Oxygen will eventually pass through the walls of the plastic bucket and, sadly, gamma seal lids are not reliably 100% Oxygen or moisture proof.
I'm glad you show mistakes like the buckets being wet. Because it happens and it's helpful to see how you correct the mistake.
Glad to help! We agree. Jim
Please don't feel bad about not being able to lift those heavy bags at your Azure drop. There are people like me that enjoy helping, it gives me my good deed for the day and makes me feel better to know that I helped, I even load in vehicles too.
I love the videos you and Jim are doing keep up the good work 🥰!
Thank you! It seems that others have no problem others too. The first time we were at the drop point, I was up in the back of the Azure truck helping to push/lift bags to the end of the lift and others were helping Pam gather our bags and take them to out vehicle. Jim
Gamma lids are a struggle to put in place, for sure. I’ve never tried this method on 2 gallon buckets, but it works great for 5 gallon buckets-I place the whole lid, rim and screw piece on the new bucket, and then I sit on it; it usually takes about 3 “snaps” to complete. I’m not a tiny petite gal and I think that works in my favor😁
Ok, that is an interesting way to get them on the buckets. Jim
I was petite but not anymore! Glad to know my booty is good for something. 😂
I’m trying this! I have lids I can get one the bucket. So frustrating.
I have a large supply of black beans, lentils, and garbanzos, but the most fun I have with beans is from Rancho Gordo, who supplies me with a wide variety of heirloom beans. These are grown in the US and Mexico by small farmers and used in local dishes. I can't recommend, and commend Rancho Gordo enough for supporting sustainable farming and keeping these heirlooms going. Royal Coronas are my favorite but every bean variety i have received from them has been outstanding.
It looks delicious 😋 yummy, watching you from Kentucky. I love watching you can stuff, im 55 and have canned alot. But you have taught me alot. Please keep showing us canning videos. And good recipes ❤
I didn't know they made 2-gallon buckets. I have stayed away from the 5-gallon because, like you, I'm past the "heavy lifting" stage. And I have been wasting space in my totes due to the weight. The buckets will solve those problems. Thanks! And I love how you don't edit out the "oopsies" and, additionally, show/tell us the solutions. BTW, I was waiting to see when the Dr. Pepper was going to be added. Sooo glad it wasn't! LOL
I promise you that if you let those garbanzo beans soak overnight, they will be as large as regular ones. Love that you shared a mistake, and explained how to fix it, so no beans wasted.
👋, how are you doing today; how’s everything going; hope it was a blessed & fun 🤩 day for you Elizabeth?
Rose, try cooking them with smoked turkey (I use necks when I don't want a lot of meat). They impart a wonderful smoked flavor without the fat of the bacon.
Thank you for showing how to correct the glitches that can happen.
Pam, you and Jim do the BEST videos!!
OMGosh we LOVE the white and red speckled Jacob's Cattle bean variety! Adzuki and Cranberry also being favorites.
We eat so many varieties of beans, because they are heart healthy, delicious, nutrient rich and versatile. And I LOVE small chickpeas/garbanzo beans. They tend to taste better in my view.
I wanted to suggest you put your bag in the sink to scoop from.
But I couldn't shout loud enough!
Such a great looking soup.
Thanks for showing how to store the beans! I put my beans in buckets with gamma lids, but I wasn't sure if oxygen absorbers would work or last if I open the buckets.
Hope to find some Cattle Beans as I've never heard of them. We store Pinto, Navy, Great Northern, Kidney, small red beans as well as split peas, black eyed peas and lentils.
I love azure standard! I didn't know they had cattle beans, I will order some next month. My Dad is diabetic, and beans are what keep his blood sugar down and steady. Thus, we eat a lot of beans, and I really appreciate having a wide variety just to keep things interesting.
Basmati rice has the lowest glycemic index of all the rices.
@@AZCanner Good o know.
@@AZCanner
Thank you for the information. I'm diabetic and really like rice so that's good to know.
Turmeric will reduce blood sugar levels but be careful, it may reduce it too much. My wife had low blood sugar for 2 weeks after eating rice with Turmeric in it.
@@originaLkomatoast
Glad the turmeric helped lower your wife's blood sugar. I tried it, using in food and capsules and it didn't help mine. Just my luck.
Grat video. More bacon is always good! 😉
I really appreciate that you share when a mistake pops up. Showing that you can easily correct an error, and that it can be a learning experience is valuable information. Your vlog is excellent, and I’ve learned a lot from your channel. Please keep up the good work - it’s important to the community.
You are so welcome! We have found that in the real world, we do "blow it". And the question is how do you fix it? We look at the idea that if we are able to "fix it" on camera with explanations, then we can help our viewers do the same/ something similar to save their food preparation and storage. That way, no one has to feel alone. Jim
When I use Gama lids I find that if I start putting on the lid so I have two points that need to attach it is a less difficult to attach.
Also I pressure cook my soaked beans in my instant pot. I make all kinds of soup, plus you can make it in the morning and come home to hot soup because of the kp warm function.
Thank you so much for all the help and instruction. Pam and Jim, you are the best.❤️
I also like azure standard. My first drop was about 4 months ago. Funny thing I was talking to a lady about wheat berries and grain mills. And she mentioned she watches rose red homestead and I was so excited because me too!! I ordered my mill because of a video you posted. And so far I like it.
Cattle beans are really good. I use them for baked beans because they keep their shape so well and are so meaty. They are really good for chili too
I had no idea they made 2-gallon buckets. I found some I like and have ordered them. Thanks for the information.
We love Azure Standard. I had read about them before they ever started coming to Florida. I was so excited when they started coming here. The people at the drop are such wonderful helpful people.
thankyou Rose
Your travel time to the freeway sounds about right for Appple Valley. I grew up in that area, and my parents are still down there. I also went to Dixie College.
I appreciate you! You inspire and educate me in so many ways. I see your name come up in every "live stream" prepping channel I watch. You are a popular and a highly spoken of woman! Thank you. We love you!
OMGOODNESS Jacob's Cattle Beans are a New England favorite! They make THE BEST baked beans. We used to use them at my restaurant. They are very hard to come by around here these days. Great video, thanks. 😊
Thank you for the information. Jim
@@RoseRedHomestead Thank you! I just went to Azure Standard and set up an account. Excited for my first pickup order. :)
Also, we always soaked our beans, (rinsing a few times), over a couple of days in the fridge until they showed signs of minor fermentation. This removes the majority of the "gassiness" that beans are known for. Works like a charm. :)
I can never get my beans to cook all the way. The very middle is always hard. So, I canned them. They soak for 24 hrs or more, rinse, boil in fresh water for 10 or so mins while I get my canner and jars ready, put them in jars, and can. When we eat them, they are soft and delicious.
Those cattle beans are pretty. I love pretty food. Like when I buy cherry tomatoes, I buy the assorted package of yellow, orange and red tomatoes.... because they're pretty in a salad..LOL.
Jacob cattle are one of my favorite beans. I grew up with these beans and we baked them the same as we did Boston baked kidney beans. The same recipe but they had a different flavor. They are a sweet bean. Thank you for sharing where you got them as they are a difficult bean to get in bulk here in Maine
I haven’t tried the cattle beans either. The flavor sounds interesting. I will have to give them a try.
Thank-you!
We have a drop here as well where we live. I dont know how it its organized where you but our coordinator is very well organized. She has a small placard that she will write each persons name on that made a purchase. Then she will place them on the ground. As the truck unloads each persons order is placed by their name. She also has a list sent to her and knows who got what. Hope this helps.
I love your channel and have learned so much from you and Jim. Thank you.
I have had calico beans before that looked like these. Nice job Pam and Jim. Enjoy.
I haven't seen calico beans in over a decade. You are blessed.
I like how you took the beans out of the bucket and making sure no moisture in there for mold to grow and ruin your product, no telling how many people that could help . Might have been a accident but was it ???
They look like anasazi beans. You will love them.
Color is a bit different. But good eye!
But Anasazi are a pinto not a kidney bean.
Love your videos, and you, and Jim. God bless you dear lady.
I love that you showed us the moisture in the bucket and explained the error! It helps so much to see the truth - to know what to look for and how to remedy it. Thank you! I have just begun ordering from Azure over the last few months, so I’m still learning what the go-to products are - so this is helpful!
Good morning.. Your soup looks delicious.. the cattle beans remind me of cranberry beans with it's cranberry color..
Hope your weekend is great.. windy and rain, 62* in Michigan
Love love love these beans we know them as Anasazi beans! Wonderful to work with and the taste is awesome!
Thanks so much! Jim
Thank you so much. Rotor cuff surgery on my left shoulder, twice. I can only lift 50 pounds, 25 each arm. At the gym, three times a week but still 63.5 years old. I realize I can not do what I used to and I have to realize, believe, go with it. It's life. God Bless and stay safe.
We’ve been eating more beans in our diet and we also buy in bulk from Azure Standard. I made a large pot of pinto beans and wanted a ham or bacon flavor so I added “Better than Bullion” Ham flavor and it turned out delicious. I always add bullion to my beans for the extra flavor in the juice. I’m excited to try the cattle beans so I went on Azure and added a 25 lb bag to my cart. Thanks
Pam and Jim are the best!! If they say it, take it to the bank!!!!! Pam, I love these beans. They are beautiful and so delicious!!!!!!
I use my hairdryer to dry my buckets after I clean them, and before I add my contents! They dry so fast and completely that way.
Great idea! 💡
Lol I made ham and beans today in my instapot!!! Cooking the cornbread now.😍
Yay for Dr. Pepper! I grew up with it Texas (in the 1950's), then couldn't get it for decades after my family moved west of the Rockies. Put a smile on my face to see it on your kitchen counter.
I so enjoy your videos!
I use the gamma lids on all my pails and discovered that if I put the rim on the carpeted floor, set the bucket upside down on it, if I sit on the bucket a rock a little it snaps right on. I struggled with a mallet so this has been a tremendous help. Hope you give it a try.
Great tip! Yes, we struggle with the rubber mallet, too, Jim
Thanks so much for the programme. Another, "must try" recipe. Cheers from Oz! 🦘
The labels from the Azure packaging peel off easily. I stick the labels on whatever I repackage in.
Your videos are very informational. Thank you
I do the same
Interesting, we had not noticed that. Thanks for the information. Jim
And if they are being stubborn, hit the label with a hair dryer first and they peel right off.
They peel off?! I’ve been cutting mine out with scissors and using packing tape to put them on my buckets. 😂
@@silverchickadee4130I think I did that the first time it 2 and then I just tried peeling it off. It was pretty slick. Give it a try.
Love watching you and Jim. Your work and teaching are fabulous.
Nice real-life examples, the beans getting wet n what to do👍
Thanks 👍
Glad you are branching out in the bean category. I cannot live without Navy beans cooked with a smoked ham hock. Love Speckled butter beans (southern thing) but my total crop failed in our drought. So glad you detected the water in bucket that would have been a heartache. Good video. Thanks Pam and Jim.
I've never heard of cattle beans. I will have to get some. I'm like you, when I saw them I immediately thought of chili. Better than Boullion has a ham flavor that is pretty strong. I often use that in dried beans along with bacon, ham, or ham hocks for a very tasty broth. Of course, I serve beans with cornbread, Louisiana style.
Holy moly! Those bags of beans are huge!
👋, how are you doing today; how’s everything going; hope it was a blessed & fun 🤩 day for you Barbara?
Thank you! I was wondering about this and hadn’t gone through your older videos ;)
Always great, Pam! Thank you.
Love the channel, love the info and love the curls.
Soup looks delicious. Would be interested in finding the 2 gallon buckets. Living in Canada, I have only found the 5 gallon and you are right, they do get too heavy for lifting. Really enjoy all your videos!!
ULINE sells a variety and in Canada. I purchased the 3 gal with gamma lids and the 4 gal rectangular buckets for storing flour. They work beautifully. Delivered to your door.
@@ltodd79 thanks..will check them out
Azure standard sells them also.
We can get 3 gallon buckets (food grade) at Menards and Fleet Farm(midwestern lumber/home supply stores).
@@teetwo56 that’s what I get! Good pricing and always available.
I find that if I put my bucket into my sink I can tip the bag to pour the bean/rice into the bucket. I love your videos!!
More great info! I used to be a drop point for AZURE, a great company, I've been ordering from them for about 30 years. I love that you show your boo boo's. We all make mistakes and we can all learn from them, and get a chuckle sometimes too.
Yor bean soup is a beautiful color. You got all the fond when you cooked the vegetables; that's a great way of keeping the flavors.
Pam I've stored my beans this way but we always freeze the bags first for about a week, let them come back to temp for about a week, and then bucket them up. If there are weevil eggs on the beans they will hatch and you will lose all of your preps :( !
I will definitely be adding cattle beans to my preps! Thank you so much!
Thanks for the tip, I wouldn't have thought of that 😀
I have seen (I think on Appalachia Homestead) a method of freezing for two days and then drying them out in a low temp oven before storing them
Soup sounds yummy
TY, I've been wondering the best way to clean & prep the buckets . This was so helpful. 🌻
Pam stated that in video: Hot soapy water (and rinse with hot water) then sprayed with steramine, and dried completely. Jim
Hello you two cuties! This was very informative and inspires me to make soup next week when it’s cold here. Have a wonderful weekend!
I just love how you explain things, thank you. Ordering cattle bean seeds from azure, and looking forward to trying your recipe, but will have to grow and dry them first.
I bought some organic trout beans when I was in Utah earlier this year, and what do you know, they are the same as Jacob Cattle beans! I can’t wait to can them. For now they are still in the original bag.
I love beans! A lot of varieties. One of my favorites is Anasazi
I received my first order from Azure Standard this week. Thanks to you showing how to make Nixtamal, I'm gonna give it a whirl. I just love your channel.
Love your videos! Your hair looks super cute in this one too!!!
We lived in idaho for over 30 years in a small farming area. Several people in our stake at church were bean farmers. I have several 5 gallon buckets of various beans in them. Dang I bet they have no oxygen packets in them. 10 years old now. Guess I will be tossing them 😢
Lots off good tips
👋, how are you doing today; how’s everything going; hope it was a blessed & fun 🤩 day for you Susara?
I have used a blow dryer to dbl ck mason jars for dry storage and for all my lids for food storage and the inside of the buckets at the bottom in the outer edge. Works like a charm.
That hoodie and color looks great on you!
That color is great on you
I grow cattle beans or jacobs cattle beans up here in Saskatchewan Canada love ‘em!
I can no longer put gamma seals on buckets so i hired a farm kid to do it for me at $5 a bucket. He mad great money for 10 minutes of work and i now had buckets i could seal. I call that a win win.
We love Azure Standard, too! Great company.
THANK you for sharing this new bean variety! I have only recently learned to like Great Northern beans and will see if I can find some Cattle beans. I have an amazing contact for Greek extra virgin olive oil and just know that a good HEALTHY drizzle of oil, along with a slice of Feta cheese will make for a delicious meal. Love your channel! Thank you for all the hard work you put into keeping us informed and educated.
229K subscribers!! We need to celebrate when you hit 250K. I love both of your channels.
I picked up some Mayocoba beans from Costco last year. Aka canary beans, they are yellow when raw but look pinkish brown when cooked. They are meaty but have a smooth meat and aren’t grainy. Mild flavored, they are from Peru. If you look for another bean I highly recommend them. I canned 20 quarts.
I canned some Mayocobas and they didn't hold up well. How did yours turn out?
@@lauriedavis329 so far so good. Softer than pintos, for sure.
I love Navy beans and Jacob's Cattle too! Blessings
This is what I need to see I’m going to put up a storm my beans today! I have an idea but just want to be sure it’s always good when I see it being done. Last night I made white chili it was delicious I’m going to finish it up today!! But I used to cannellini beans and great northern there a little bigger than the great northern and I believe they taste about the same.
Loving the hair color! Looks so rich!
So glad to see you are ordering from AzureStandard. I love this company.
Don't feel bad about letting others do the heavy lifting. I'm sure for many years you helped others with physical tasks when they needed it. Now it's your turn to let others do the same. Think of it this way, you're giving them the chance to do a mitzvah- a good deed. You're letting them have the blessing of helping you. It goes both ways.
The cattle beans look like little brown and white cows, how cute!
Wonderful with a Boston Baked Bean recipe. Hard to find usually so much so that we use to grow our own. I know you are going to love them - enjoy.
