Plus two stalks of celery and a sliced carrot.
And about a tablespoon of thyme leaves.
Can of stewed tomatoes added at the end [tomatoes added early with make the beans tough.]
No ketchup, ever. Never use a bone from a sweet ham, it will make the dish taste blah. Smoked hocks or salty country ham bone only.
Sometimes grated horseradish to be a little different.
And corn bread on the side, the kind baked in a sizzling cast iron skillet first greased with a couple dollops of butter and bacon grease and loaded with fresh cracked pepper.
