Hearty and humble, beans and greens with a side of cornbread has been a staple dish in Appalachia for generations. Use collards, turnip greens, mustard greens, kale, or spinach -- whatever you have on hand.

Just don't forget the cast iron skillet cornbread or the simple buttermilk biscuits to round out the meal!
