Preparation
Step 1
Heat a cast-iron pot over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook for 5 minutes.
Add the onion and saute until beginning to soften and become translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the beans and 5 cups water to the pot, stirring to combine. Bring the beans to a boil, reduce the heat and cover. Cook over medium-low heat until the beans are tender, about 2 hours.
Season with salt and pepper. Adjust the seasoning, if necessary.
VERY IMPORTANT! DO NOT season beans with salt until they are finished cooking. It makes the beans tough.
