Rinse beans thoroughly in a colander. Place beans and water in an approximately 6-8 qt sauce pan. Bring to a boil over high flame. Once boiling stir and lower to lowest setting. Stir every so often and add additional water as needed depending on evaporation. Cook for approximately 2 hours or until beans are tender when eaten.
