I am making recipe #1 with bacon, chicken stock and spices…. garlic powder, pepper and bay leaves. We Texans usually just cook ours with bacon, or leftover ham, and in water, with no stock. This is a new recipe for me. I really hope the bay leaves are not too overpowering, as we usually only use them in pot roast or stew.
