Pinto Beans And Ham Hocks Recipe

1. 1

   Place ham hocks, onion and garlic into a large cooking pot.

2. 2

   Add in sufficient water to fill the pot about 3/4 full.

3. 3

   Boil 1 to 2 hrs or possibly till the hocks are tender.

4. 4

   Add in pinto beans and water as necessary and continue cooking 1 to 2 hrs more till the beans are done.

5. 5

   If you soaked the beans before hand, the time required for this part may be reduced.

6. 6

   If desired them zesty, a couple of Jalapeno peppers may be added here.

7. 7

   Taste is important here.

8. 8

   I like to cook mine till the beans begin to fall apart and the broth begins to look like thick bean soup, but I feel this greatly enhances the flavor.
