A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

This is Barb: Muffy you need to cover beans by 2 inches of water bring to boil for 3 minutes then let soak for 1 hour drain and rinse.Repeat and let set for 10 minutes rinse and drain.Then cook as usual.That will take the bitter out and remove a lot of the gas. Hope this helps.
the beans in this recipe turned out perfect but they had a bitter taste. I followed the recipe. It sounds exactly like what I'm looking for if someone could tell what the bitter is
