"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

One piece salt pork
onion

Directions:
Directions:
Wash dried beans...presoaking cuts down on cooking time.

Cover beans with plenty of water.
Add salt pork...or a ham bone works well.
Chop one small onion and add.
Salt and pepper...adjust depending on type of pork added.

Bring to a soft boil, reduce and simmer.
Check often to add additional water as beans puff.

Near the end I like to dice a couple small potatoes and small carrots.
It just adds flavor.
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This was a weekly staple in our home...some of the kids hate beans to this day and others, like me, love them!
We served with corn bread...or Dad liked them with any hot bread or muffin.

I personally like them the following day as they thicken and the flavor enhances overnight.
