CREOLE PINTO BEANS AND SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Soak beans overnight (or at least several hours). Once they are soaked, rinse and put in a big pot of cold water. Cover the beans with about a half gallon of water. You want the beans covered plus about 1 inch. Cut the Conecuh sausage into half inch pieces, and add it to the beans. Turn on medium heat and let simmer for about an hour. Be sure to add more water as it evaporates so that you don't scorch the beans. Once spices are added, cook about 30 more minutes.
