Directions:
Cut bacon into small pieces then cook until crisp in a large saucepan.
Add beans then add enough broth or water to cover the beans by a little less than an inch of liquid (you may not need all 4 cups).
Cook over medium heat until just boiling then reduce heat to low, cover and simmer beans for 30 minutes. Add salt then continue cooking for 30 minutes or until beans are very tender.
Taste for salt then add more if desired. Turn off heat, uncover pan, then let beans rest for 15 minutes before serving.

Personal Notes:
You can use ham instead of bacon. You also fix Butter Beans this way. I cook my Butter Beans in my crock pot.
