Prep
Wash and sort beans

Cook
Heat the cooking pan and fry bacon, ground pork, and country ham
Add Onion, Garlic, and Butter to pan, cook just until the butter melts
Add beans, cover with water by 2"
Bring to boil for 15 minutes
Reduce heat to simmer for 3 hours (or until beans are tender)
Add 2 teaspoons of salt, smash about 1/4 of the beans, and stir
Serve: Use slotted spoon to add bean/meat mixture, use ladle to add gravy. Top with fresh cut onions to preference.
