1-2 lbs Pinto beans, Lima beans (any variety), Northern
beans, Navy beans, and of course Black Eyed Peas!
Water
Salt, 2 TBS or to taste
Pepper, 1 TBS or to taste
Sugar, 1 TBS or to taste
Oil, about 2-3 TBS
Ham hock, ham bone, ham slices, etc. - as desired
Instructions
Sort your beans and place in a pot, covering with
water. Let soak overnight. Drain soak water. Cover
with new water.
Add the following according to taste- Salt, pepper,
sugar, and oil. A good rule of thumb is to start
with a tablespoon of each and then taste it several
hours later and add more if you think it needs it.
Add one of the following for additional seasoning -
Ham hock, ham bone, or slice of country ham. In a
pinch, I have actually seasoned my beans with bacon
before. Bring to a boil and then lower heat to
simmer for several hours.
Don’t let the water get too low, just add more every
few hours as it boils down.
Serving
Suggestions
Side dish as well as Main dish; Serve with Chopped Onion and Cornbread
