DIRECTIONS
* Add soaked beans and water in large pot; salt & pepper and add bay leaf.
* Bring to boil, then cover, turn heat to low and simmer 3-4hrs til tender.
* Meanwhile, as beans approach being done, begin browning meat in a little olive oil.
* Add onion, pepper and garlic as meat begins to brown, and cook meat thru til no longer pink and onion is translucent, pepper tender. Drain off excess fat if desired.
* Add Seasoning packets per directions; generally you add approx 1/4-1/3c water along w/seasoning.
* Add corn kernals; cook per packet directions til sauce from seasoning packets thickens slightly and flavors are absorbing.
* Add entire skillet of seasoned meat and corn to cooking beans; season again w/salt & pepper to taste.
