  • 1 cup red beans, washed and drained
  • 3 cups of water

TO PREPARE:

Cook beans in water.  Season with salt and bacon drippings, ham or other seasoning meat.  Cook for 1-1/2 to 2 hours.  Add onion, garlic, celery, and bay leaf.  Continue to cook over low heat for 1/2 to 1 hour.  If beans become too dry, add heated water.  Two tablespoons of sugar improve the whole effect.  Serve on mounds of rice - a Louisiana treat!
