1. Pick over beans, place in kettle and wash thoroughly. Cover beans with water and bring to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes; turn off heat and allow beans to sit for 1 hour.
2. Add meat and seasonings to beans. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 1 to 2 hours or until tender (not mushy). Add more water if beans become too dry. Stir beans occasionally to ensure even cooking.
