or until beans are tender, But not falling apart! ( Cook beans in a
covered pot with water (About 2 Quarts) or they may become discolored and they will harden ).
Add all the other ingredients.... If necessary add enough water to cover
the beans. Bring to a boil again, and reduce heat to a low simmer. simmer
for 2 or 3 hours, stirring occassionally so beans don't stick to the bottom.

return the beans to the pot. Remove the Bay Leaves and discard before serving!
Serve over a cup of cooked hot rice & Enjoy!
