Directions
Wash beans and place in a large pot or kettle.
Add water and remaining ingredients (except salt, which should be added 30 minutes before beans are done).
Cover and simmer for 5 to 6 hours.
Check liquid level occasionally and add more water (add boiling water, never cold) as needed to keep beans covered.
Can be spiced up by adding more garlic and/or chili powder.
This recipe works especially well in a crockpot.
If cooked in a crockpot, you will need 1 quart of water and cook them on the low setting.
It also may take a little longer than the 5 to 6 hours.
