Rinse beans; soak in water 30 minutes, then cook slowly until tender, about 2 hours (add boiling water as necessary). Add salt and pepper to taste.
Heat bacon drippings in skillet; saute ham, salt pork or sausage, then add onions and garlic, cooking until translucent. Stir into cooked beans along with parsley.
Remove about 1 cup beans; mash or put through a sieve and stir into beans (this will thicken the juices). Serve over hot rice.
