Description: | "Just the right amount" of beans. Here's my current favorite recipe. I had a little bit of bakers' chocolate for a little earthy complexity, and I think this recipe would do well in an egg picking up a little bit of smoke. If you try it, let me know what you think. It comes from the Certified Angus Beef folks. -- Steve |
