  8. Add garlic. Saute for 3 minutes. Do not burn.
  9. Add Chicken Stock.
  10. Add water.
  11. Add bag of beans.
  12. Stir. Cook on medium to high heat for 1 hour. Stirring often to prevent sticking.
  13. After 1 hour add seasoning and spices Maldon Salt, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Cayenne Pepper, Smoked Paprika, Black Pepper and hot sauce. Stirring often.
  14. Lower the fire to low to medium. Cook for 1 hour 15 minutes. Stirring often.
  15. After 1 hour and 15 minutes. Check to make sure that the beans are tender and that the beans are the consistency you like.
  16. I like creamy beans with less water. *Cooking times vary so if your beans aren't tender after 2 hours, add additional water or chicken stock for another 30 minutes on high heat.
  17. Serve beans over rice.
  18. Enjoy.
