How to Make Old Fashioned Ham and Beans

Step-by-Step

Combine the beans (which were soaked in water overnight and drained), ham, ham bone, brown sugar, onion, garlic salt, and black pepper in a soup kettle.
Pour enough water into the kettle to cover the mixture by about 2 inches.
Simmer 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally, or until beans are done and mixture has blended flavors well.
