Step

In a large Dutch oven, sweat the onion and garlic in the butter over medium heat.

Add the remaining ingredients, except for the horseradish and beans.

Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer mixture for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid burning on the bottom of the Dutch oven.

Add the horseradish and beans and simmer for an additional 30 minutes over low heat.

Once the beans are done, remove the bay leaf and serve with your favorite smoked meats.
