Rattlesnake Beans with Bacon

2 lb. Pounds of Rattlesnake Beans
3 quarts of water
1 1/2 cups chopped yellow onions
1/4 pound thick-sliced smoky bacon, chopped
1 tablespoon unblended medium-hot powdered red chilies
3 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped
Salt to taste

Rinse and pick over beans. Soak overnight in water. Drain, cover with water. In a large pot combine the rinsed beans, 3 quarts of water, the onions, bacon, powered chilies, and garlic. Bring to a simmer, then partially cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 hours. Stir in 4 tablespoons salt and cook until the beans are very tender and their broth is very thick, another hour or more. Adjust the seasoning and serve immediately.
The beans can be prepared several days in advance and will improve upon resting. Cool completely, cover, and refrigerate. Rewarm the beans over low heat, stirring often, until simmering.
