Eufaula, OK

This was a recipe my Mother came up with during the Depression years. I was not even thought of back then. Mother & Daddy thought that 4 children were all they were going to have. Daddy was a preacher and Mother fed the family as well as visiting Evangelist. Once or twice a week, Beans were cooked for the evening meal with fried tatters. If anyone knew how to stretch a meal, it was Moma. Each time she warmed over the beans, they were a little different. Daddy would ask what she called these beans? And she anwered " Beany~Red." This recipe was everyones favorite. And still is, today!
