Ingredients
16
oz
package of dry northern beans
1
pound
of sliced bacon
salt
pepper
onion powder
Instructions
Place your beans in a large pot and fill the pot with water. Soak your beans overnight.
The next day, drain and rinse.
Put the beans back in the pot and cover with water about 1 inch above the beans.
Place on burner and begin simmering on low heat.
Add salt, pepper, and onion powder to taste.
In another pan cook bacon.
When the bacon is done, place the bacon on a cutting board and let cool.
Pour the bacon grease in the pan with the beans.
When the bacon is cool, cut into tiny pieces and place in the pan with the beans.
Continue to simmer for 3-5 hours.
Taste test every few hours to see if you need to add salt or pepper.
If your soup starts to get too thick for your taste, add some water. If it is too thin, let it cook a little longer.
