directions

  • Place all ingredients in a large heavy pot, dutch oven or stock pot. Make sure the water covers the ingredients by two fingers depth (real scientfic here).
  • Cover and cook over medium to low heat for about 2 hours stirring occasionally.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste (adding it sooner will make the beans tough).
  • Continue to stir occasionally to ensure that the beans aren't sticking and continue to cook until beans are soft (about another 2 hours).
  • Serve over hot rice.
  • I usually add some Andouille Sausage during the last 1/2 hour of cooking.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am a native New Orleanian who is primarily French, Irish, English, and Spanish. I have a degree in Chemistry and work for the Federal Government. I am married to a college Chemistry professor and we have two cats. In my free time, I tutor math and science, paint, restore antiques, garden, and sew. Living in New Orleans has taught me a real appreciation for food. Since cooking is a real passion for me, I have probably a hundred cookbooks. The only thing I can say that I don't like about my life is that I have to watch my weight.
