📝 Ingredients
1 lb dry pinto beans
6–8 cups water (or enough to cover beans by 2 inches)
2-3 meaty ham hock or 6–8 oz ham chunks or bacon
½–1 small onion, diced (about ½ cup)
garlic powder (to taste)
1 tsp salt (add after beans are cooked)
½ tsp black pepper
Optional: pinch of crushed red pepper or cayenne.

🍲 Directions
Sort & Rinse Beans
Pick through beans to remove debris. Rinse well under cold water.
Soak (Optional but Recommended)
Place beans in a large bowl, cover with water, and soak 6–8 hours or overnight in refrigerator.
(If skipping soak, just allow extra cooking time.)
Start Cooking
Add beans to a large pot. Cover with fresh water (2 inches above beans).
Add ham hock or meat and diced onion.
Simmer Low & Slow
Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low.
Cover and simmer 2½ to 3 hours or until beans are tender, stirring occasionally.
Season Properly
Once beans begin to soften, add salt, pepper and optional spices.
(Don’t salt too early — it can toughen beans.)
Finish
Beans are done when tender and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
👉 Serve with cornbread and fried potatoes.
