[QUOTE="XD-9Guy, post: 1969561, member: 4869"] Well, I think it is primarily because I had too lofty of expectations but it wasn't "knock your socks off good" like I thought it was going to be. The ingredient list reeked of brilliance, I was expecting the best pot of beans I've ever had and I can't honestly say it's better than a quality bowl of pinto beans & ham. That being said, there is no question the recipe is a keeper. The next time I'm in the mood for something hearty I can eat with a spoon & bowl, I can see us making it again. It is definitely good eating, we had my brother in law and my cousin over for dinner too and everybody had a second bowl except my wife. My brother in law made a good observation too, he said the dish might benefit from a little sweetness and i can see where he is coming from so I think we may try throwing a little brown sugar in the mix next time and my wife says we need sweet cornbread next time too. On a scale of 1-10 for soups, stews, chilis and the like... I'd put this in the 6-7 range, it's a goodie but not something I'm going to be dying to eat again in a week. Thanks again for posting it up - we always like making something new. Oh, one final note - this stuff smells even better than it tastes, the house smells amazing right now. [/QUOTE]
