2 lbs dried red kidney beans
1 ½ cups onions, diced
1 cup celery, diced
½ cup bell pepper, diced
½ cup scallion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
¼ cup parsley, minced
1 tablespoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon dried marjoram or 1 tablespoon oregano
3 bay leaves
2 hot peppers, minced, I like cayenne
12 lb ham, minced
2 quarts water (or more)
salt and pepper

1
Place all ingredients in a large heavy pot, dutch oven or stock pot.
2
Make sure the water covers the ingredients by two fingers depth (real scientfic here).
3
Cover and cook over medium to low heat for about 2 hours stirring occasionally.
4
Add salt and pepper to taste (adding it sooner will make the beans tough).
5
Continue to stir occasionally to ensure that the beans aren't sticking and continue to cook until beans are soft (about another 2 hours).
6
Serve over hot rice.
7
I usually add some Andouille Sausage during the last 1/2 hour of cooking.
