Ingredients

Directions

Step #1 Soak the beans overnight in lots of cold water.
Step #2 Drain off the soaking water.
Step #3 Put beans in a very large pot.
Step #4 Pour in the beer & enough fresh water to come up 2 inches over the beans.
Step #5 Add remaining ingredients except salt.
Step #6 Cover up, heat to a boil, reduce heat to very low - just enough to bubble the liquid a little.
Step #7 Simmer until beans are tender, 2 to 3 hrs.
Step #8 If using ham hocks, remove, discard bones, chop & return to pot.
Step #9 Add salt to taste.
Step #10 Note1: I've noted the comment regarding the time - lately, I've made this by dumping it all in the crockpot & cooking for however long, 9 to 10 hrs I suppose.
Step #11 I'll try to do it on the stovetop next time & check time.
