Instructions

  1. Clean beans by rinsing. Place beans in 4 qrt. pan, cover beans with water, bring to a boil and turn off the stove. Soak for one hour. As beans soften and expand, add more water to cover, if needed.

  3. Drain the bean's soak water (leave the bean residue on bottom of pan) and again, add enough water to fully cover.
  4. Add all remaining ingrediants and stir together.
  5. Cook on low to medium heat (low, slow boil), stirring every so often, for 2 to 3 hours or until beans are done to your preferred tenderness.
  6. Just before serving, add a sprinkle of grated sharp cheddar cheese on top.
