This came from the Montana Cookbook, it was a post from when I use to belong to Prodigy. I've made these several times - my family loves this recipe. Ingredients:

2 cloves garlic, minced (more if you like) |
1 bay leaf |
2 cups canned tomatoes |
1/2 cup chopped green pepper |
2 teaspoons chili powder |
2 tablespoons brown sugar |
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard |
1/4 teaspoon crushed oregano |
1/2 ob. smoked ham, bacon or salt pork |
salt to taste |
Directions:
1. Wash beans. Cover with water and let stand overnight.
2. To cook, cover and bring to boil, cook 2 minutes.
3. Remove from heat and let stand 1 hour.
4. Add onion, garlic and bay leaf and return to boiling.
5. Turn down heat and simmer 1 1/2 hours or until beans are almost tender.
