I'd never thought of adding hot sauce and cheese but it sounds amazing. Start with a standard ham 'n' beans setup:

If your legumes came dry, soak them overnight in a big pot (I use great northern beans but blackeye peas should be delicious too). Pour off the water, then rinse them thoroughly.

If they're canned (nothing wrong with that), just rinse them thoroughly.

I go with a pound of beans for every pound of ham.

When they're good to go, throw them in the slow cooker with your ham hock(s)/ham chunks, then put in enough water to cover it all. Some people use stock or broth but I just go with water because with the ham hocks in there, you don't really need it.

Add some salt and pepper. Don't be shy with the salt. Put the slow cooker on low and let it do its thing for 8-12 hours, stirring every once in a while.

Then, go nuts with cheese and hot sauce and cornbread. I think it's illegal in some jurisdictions to serve ham 'n' beans without at least a side of cornbread, so plan ahead.

Some weirdos put garlic and bay leaves and cloves and poo poo in theirs and that's okay I guess but you won't catch me eating it

Where are the pics with stick figures and hilarious descriptions of ingredients to illustrate this?

While I cannot claim to understand your choice not to dump a bunch of garlic in a bean stew (as garlic is delicious in this and in most other applications), I respect your assertiveness, and hope that you might change your mind upon further reflection.

Dude, I love garlic. We're on the same team, here. It just doesn't sound like it would go with ham 'n' beans.

Inspired partly (mostly) by empty sea bringing it up and partly by how goddamn cold it is, I'm soaking some beans for a big ol' ham 'n beans dinner tomorrow.

And eggs are chicken ovaries. Eeeeeew.

When I was young I had an egg allergy. I was in preschool and we had to eat hard boiled eggs for breakfast. I told my teachers that I couldn't eat the eggs or I'd get sick. Somehow this information didn't make it in to my file so they thought I was just being childish. They forced me to take a bite. The egg made it half way down my throat before it, and every other thing in my stomach came out, and I started to swell. This is the early 80s so no epipen or anything like that. Rushed to hospital etc. etc. After that I had this deep seated dislike of egg by itself or in anything. I grew out of the allergy but even on things like french toast if there was any egg wash hanging off the bread I'd pull that poo poo off, wouldn't eat mayo, all sorts of stuff like that. I'd even avoid foods that smelled eggy.

Fast forward to age 20. I decide that it is drat stupid for a grown man to have this kind of problem with eggs. I wait until my house is going to be completely empty for several hours in case this goes badly vomit-wise, and 911 ready to go on the phone should my throat close. I knew how to make scrambled eggs so I picked that. I needed something more though. I need some moral support, or at least something to take my mind off what I was about to do to myself. I put on Red Dwarf and without thinking I picked the episode DNA in which Kryten becomes a human. As I nervously place the eggs in my mouth he's served breakfast. He comments, "Ah, breakfast, my very first meal! Boiled chicken ovulations -- delicious!." There was just something about the word ovulation that made me unable to swallow. I gagged and spit the eggs back out. I had failed. It would be another three years before I could get eggs down my throat.

The reason I'm telling this tale is because now that I enjoy eggs in most of their preparations I have found that many people have a similar reaction to mine when they're reminded of the origin of their food in technical language. The only person in my life that can do worse is my wife. She's studying veterinary medicine and nothing shuts a meal down faster than her description of just exactly what an infected horse vagina looks and smells like.

Can I ask why? I'm genuinely curious. While shallots and garlic are technically members of the same family, culinary and palate-wise, shallots are much MUCH closer to what's largely considered 'onion' flavored than 'garlic'. And comparing them to what most people consider 'onion' flavored, they're far more subtle and mild. So why would you take an ingredient prized for its own bold, nuanced qualities and replace it with something that's...just kind of a far weaker, less sassy version? I really am not judging, but I seriously can't think of a single application where substituting shallot for garlic would make any impact but dumbing down the flavors. Prove me wrong! I love learning.

I wish I could add picture content, but unfortunately this was back in the day where we didn't have cameras on our phones and I hope to god no one else ever had to experience this, so I doubt I could find a stock photo. So I just want you to imagine the dish that almost made me vegetarian when I was ten years old. Mushroom Surprise. The surprise is it's deli turkey cut into half inch thick slices with a can of Campbell's Mushroom soup poured over it and topped with Velveeta and baked in the oven for an hour. Trust me. The vision your imagination brings up is nothing compared to the horrors of the truth.

I'm that weird guy at work who has a big bottle of cholula in his desk for everyone to use though, I'm addicted to that stuff. In fact, I just put it on some shepherd's pie that I'd made the other day, and it was super delicious. There's another hot sauce in a similarish glass bottle but it's green that I never remember the name of, but it's also really good.
