Notes
There are no exact measurements in this recipe — you measure with your heart! Taste as you go and adjust to your preference. These taste even better the next day, so make them ahead if you can.
If you don't have a bean pot, a glass baking dish or Dutch oven works. Cover tightly with foil to trap steam. The bean pot makes a real difference in texture — the stoneware holds heat in a way that a regular pan doesn't. Trust Mama on this one.
