Directions
Pick over Beans to remove rocks and bad Beans.
Wash and put in large pot with sugar.
Add enough cold water to cover and heat to boiling, over and simmer for 3 hours or until Beans are soft, adding additional water when necessary during cooking.
Add ½ cup bacon drippings, salt and garlic.
Cook at least 1 hour more, stirring occasionally.
Can be cooked for more than 4 hours or overnight if there is enough water.
Heat ¼ cup bacon drippings or lard in a large skillet and add beans.
Stir frequently, until Beans are reheated.
Mash with a fork or potato masher.
Brown beans until dry and a little crusty, stirring frequently.
Add salt, if needed, to taste.
