Preparation

Step 1

Combine all ingredients in a large pot, bring to a boil, then turn to medium low and cook about 1 1/2 hours until potatoes are done and water has cooked down. You can also do this in the crockpot and let cook on low 6 to 7 hours or high 4 hours.

Note: You can add a couple teaspoons bacon drippings if you are just using ham. This will add flavor to the beans.
Makes 8 to 10 servings. Enjoy!
