Directions:

1. Wash Beans. Empty the contents of the seasoning pouch and the cleaned beans into a large pot with 9 cups of water. Bring to a rolling boil.
2. Remove from heat and let soak for about 1 hour.
3. Brown 1 lb. cubed smoked sausage or ham and add to beans with 2 BAY LEAVES.
4. Bring to a rolling boil, then reduce to medium-low heat. Cook covered until beans are tender (about 2 hours).
5. For different flavors, substitute 1 lb. browned LEAN ground meat instead of smoked sausage or ham.
6. Remove bay leaves. Serve over steamed rice or noodles. 

• Great news: For 1/2 recipe, adjust 1/2 of all ingredients in the above directions. For those who like a milder flavor, adjust seasoning to taste.
