Ingredients

How to make it

  • Wash beans and place in a large pot or kettle. Add water and remaining ingredients except the salt, which should be added 30 minutes before beans are done. Cover and simmer for 5 to 6 hours.* Check liquid level occasionally, adding more water as needed (Always add boiling water, never cold water).
  • *Note: This recipe works especially well in a crockpot. If you use that method, use only one quart of water and cook an the low setting for about 8 or 9 hours.
  • This recipe is good for the general palate. You may want to spice it up a bit by using more chili powder and/or garlic. Some ground ancho pepper or chipotle pepper could be added
