1. Drain soaked beans in a colander and place them with all other ingredients except rice into a heavy 8-10 quart pot, adding just enough cold water to cover. 2. Bring to boil over high heat, then lower heat and simmer uncovered for 2 1/2 to 3 hours or until beans are tender and a thick, natural gravy has formed. 3. Add 1 cup of water toward end of cooking if it is looking too dry for your tastes. 4. Stir about every half hour just once or twice around the pot. 5. When beans are cooked turn off heat. 6. To serve, ladle about 1 1/2 cups of beans, meat and gravy over a serving of rice. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
