Chilly Wintry Morning Cooking

It's one of those rare dreary, chilly, wintry mornings for southeast Louisiana and I felt like some white beans for dinner this evening. Got 'em going early today as I have a long list of things to try and get accomplished.
Got some pickled pork and spiral slice ham in there.
Of course on a day like today it's a perfect morning for a lil drink to make one feel good inside.
This morning I went with a glass of egg nog with some awesome Jamaican Rum and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
The plan is to throw some sausage of the grill this afternoon and make a cornbread to join the beans and rice in my belly.

I did 2 lbs. of red beans yesterday for the traditional Monday Red Beans and Rice dinner.
For the meat, I used a combination of cubed ham, some of my homemade tasso, smoked pork belly and smoke sausage. Damn fine eating with a little jalapeno cornbread.

Lol...... Yeah, I pretty much devoted today to getting some stuff done around the house so I felt like it was okay to have a little morning cocktail.
These are good 'ol Camelia Great Northerns.
Sitting here waiting for the time to get the rice going, make the cornbread and throw the sausage on the Keg and having a nice late afternoon drink.
For mixing I use Costco's Kirkland brands. I started to crack open a Woodford Reserve but went with the Costco stuff.

I’ve been thinking about them beans ever since I saw them this morning.

Does the pickled pork give it tanginess?
I can't say tanginess. It's just great. But when using pickled or salted pork you do have to be careful adding salt. It does bring saltiness to the dish.

Thus is probably a dumb question, but how do I keep the beans from burning of they haven't quite broken up yet or softened quite enough? Just keep adding water? It seems that despite doing that there are some of the beans that settle and start burning at the bottom even with every 5 minute stirring over low heat. Doesn't happen all the time, but I don't know what's happening differently when it does.

Have you tried a heat diffuser if you have a gas stove? You might have some hot spots based on the type of pot or flame pattern.
Have you ever tried cooking them in the oven? Works great with a heavy Dutch oven. Never had a problem with burning or scorching in the oven.
