Need some ideas for combos of what types of beans and spices.

Slow cooked. Beans are great for camping and I need them to taste good.  I will be eating them for a week or 3. this summer. Gonna try them out at home first though.

I heard that they are good in chili.

If you don't like sound effects, give them a good rinse and discard the water. Much of the gaseous producing elements will be removed.

If you're auditioning for the campfire scene, don't worry.

My favorite RED BEANS AND RICE

INGREDIENTS:

1 quart (4 cups) dried red beans
2 quarts water
1 pound ham or salt pork HAM HOCKS ARE GREAT
1 carrot, chopped
1 large onion, chopped

PREPARATION:

Soak the beans overnight in cold water; drain. Heat the beans in about 2 quarts of water, add all ingredients except salt, and boil for at least 2 hours. When beans are tender, mash them up a bit. Serve on white boiled rice with meat and vegetables on top.
Serves 10 to 12
