Time 4h20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb mixed dried beans pintos and great northerns
1 Tbsp salt add more if needed
1 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 Tbsp bacon drippings
2 c chopped country ham pieces or you can use ham stock

Steps:

  • 1. Place the beans one handful at a time in a colander in the sink. Pick through them as you put the in the colander and pick out any little rocks or shriveled beans.
  • 2. Run water over the beans to wash them off really well. Place the beans in a deep pan.
  • 3. Cover with water about 2 inches above the beans. Bring to a boil. Boil for about 2 minutes. Watch carefully so they don't boil over.
  • 4. Carefully pour the water off of the beans and then cover with fresh water to about 2 inches above the beans.
  • 5. Bring to a boil again and then turn down to a low simmer. Add the salt, pepper, garlic powder and bacon drippings at this point.
  • 6. I like to let the beans cook for about 2 hours and add in the ham and cook them for at least another 2 hours.
  • 7. Add water at this point if beans have soaked up to much water. This is not a quick dish but it is fairly carefree once you get it on. Just be sure to check your beans every hour and add more water if needed.
  • 8. When the beans are done taste for seasoning and add accordingly.
