most barbecue joints serve ladlefuls of smoky , deep-flavored beans alongside the slabs of ribs and mounds of pulled pork. we wanted to make those creamy textured, saucy beans at home to accompany our own barbecue, but we couldn tsp find a pitmaster who would give up their secret recipe. we were on our own, then, to develop a recipe for cowboy beans. here s what we discovered, test kitchen discoveries, use dried pinto or navy beans. canned beans turn mushy long before the sauce s flavors have blended., beans can be soaked overnight or quick soaked, which involves boiling the beans for five minutes, then allowing them to sit for 1 hour before draining and proceeding with the recipe. don tsp worry about timing., bacon is a convenient substitute for smoky barbecued meat., blend mustard , barbecue sauce, and brown sugar for a sweet but spicy, deep flavor. a fair amount of garlic and onion help here too., secret ingredient in cowboy beans is coffee. the roasted , slightly bitter flavor ties all the ingredients together., simmer the beans slowly in the oven to keep the beans whole. cooked too quickly, they will break apart.

tennessee stack cake, why this recipe won : good things come to patient cooks, as this cake must sit for an entire day before being served. during that time, the oversized sugar cookies soak up moisture from the apple butter and become tender and cake-like., recipe history : appalachian specialty known by various names, including apple stack cake, pioneer stack cake, and washday stack cake., secret ingredient : homemade apple butter., what our winner says : my grandmother (mom-mom) was born in 1917 into, a family of ten in lone mountain, tenn. baking day was saturday, and dried apple rings were brought down from the attic, where they had been hung every fall, reserved mainly for use in this special cake. the baked cake was placed on the dining room table to cool, then covered with a clean tablecloth to keep the flies off. mom-mom remembers how she loved to go downstairs on sunday morning and see the large hump under the cloth where the stack cake lay. the anticipation was heightened by the fact that the cake could not be eaten until after sunday dinner, and all

here are the basics of making an excellent cheese fondue , the proper way (or at least the lindysez way)., use good cheese , i use half emmental swiss and gruyere, grate them up and toss them with some salt and a good amount of pepper. let them sit out at room temp so they melt better . cut your bread (good french bread, but not sourdough) into bite sized pieces making sure to have crust on each piece. let those sit out for a while too so they aren tsp too soft., cheese that you use , you are going to use 1 3/4 cups of a dry white wine, such as a fume blanc, a california sauv blanc (don tsp use a new zealand 1 as most are too grassy) or a pouilly-fume. when you are ready to make the fondue, rub the pot with a clove of garlic (we like garlic, so we leave the clove in, but you don tsp need to); then place over a medium heat and add the wine. when the wine comes to a simmer, start slowly adding the cheese, sprinkling in a handful at a time, allowing each addition to melt (my dad said you always have to stir in the same direction, in a figure 8 motion, it works. if you stir in a circle you will end up with a big glop of cheese in the middle of a pot of wine, the figure 8 is key); keep adding until you have a nice thick sauce, then add a splash of kirsch and a pinch of nutmeg. put over a burner to keep it bubbling, and stir often when you dip your bread., a lb of cheese is enough for 4 people; or more if you are serving other things. and the amounts are guesstimates. i almost always grate too much cheese, so only add as much as you need to get the right consistency ; when you dip a piece of bread into the fondue, you want a nice coating of cheese and for the bread to absorb the wine. that s what it s all about, cheese, wine and bread. so use the best you can of each ingredient. and any left over cheese makes for a mighty good ham and cheese omelet.
