      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.
