  • 8 cups water, plus more if needed
  • 1 cup chopped brisket bark and 1 inch meat chunks

For the Beans

  • Combine the beans, onion, bean seasoning, and water in a large pot and let soak for 4 to 6 hours or for up to overnight, which is actually what I do.  
    Add the brisket bark and the meat to the soaked beans and bring to a boil.  Lower the heat to a slow simmer, cover, and cook for 3 to 4 hours until the beans are tender.
