Ingredients:  
1 pound dried red kidney beans (Camelia©)
5 cups of water
2 tablespoons bacon drippings
˝ pound pickled meat
˝ pound smoked sausage
1 large smoked ham hock
Salt, pepper, granulated garlic to taste
2 medium onions chopped
˝ green bell pepper chopped
2 stalks green onion chopped
3 teaspoons chopped parsley
1 stalk celery chopped
3 garlic toes chopped
Tabasco© Sauce to taste

Directions:
Rinse the beans in a large pot. Check for “ugly” beans and throw them out. Cover the beans with water, and let sit overnight.

Next morning, dump water, add enough fresh water to cover the beans by about 2 inches. Put on high fire.
Chop and rinse the pickled meat. Place it in a pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Let simmer until tender. Discard water. (Some people save it to add to the beans, but it’s salty, so I discard it.)

In a separate pot or deep pan, heat the bacon drippings. Add the chopped seasonings and stir often until the onions are clear.

Add the sausage and pickled meat. Cook until the sausage and pickled meat browns around the edges.

By now the beans should have burst. Add the seasonings and meat. Lower the heat to medium, cover, and let them simmer. Check on the beans periodically to add more water and to stir. Cook for about 3 hours.

Sprinkle with Tabasco sauce and serve over rice.
