• Season with salt and pepper.
• Cover, and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 1 1/2 hours.
• Stir the beans occasionally through out the entire cooking process to make sure they do not burn or stick to the bottom of the pot.

• Continue to cook uncovered for 1 hour, or until beans are tender.
• With a potato masher, crush the beans slightly to thicken the bean liquid.
