     Title: Perfect Beans
Categories: Sausages, Beans
     Yield: 8 servings

     1 lb Dried beans
     1 tb Salt
     2 lb Sausage links; sliced
     3    Jalapeno peppers; minced
     1 ts Sugar
     3 cl Garlic; minced
     2    Onions; sliced
     3 ts Chili powder

 Beans may be Pinto, navy, great northern White, etc.  Pick over
 Beans to remove rocks and bad beans.  Wash and place in large pot
 with sugar and enough cold water to cover *.  Bring to a boil,
 cover and simmer for 3 hours or until tender.  Add additional water
 during cooking as necessary *. Slice sausage and onion, dice garlic
 and peppers (adjust number of peppers to suit preference).  Add all
 remaining ingredients and cook beans for at least 1 more hour,
 stirring occasionally and adding water as needed *. Add salt if
 required.

 * To begin, water should be at least twice as deep as beans.  After
   beans have swollen, always keep just covered with liquid to
   prevent burning. If beans should accidently burn, do not stir.
   Pour off into another pot, being careful not to get burned
   particles and continue cooking.
