- Taste
- 1 qt Tomatoes, Canned
- 5 Garlic Cloves -- to taste
- 2 md Onions -- finely chopped

Directions
Soak the pinto beans in water overnight, or about 6-8 hours. Drain the
water and rinse the beans well.
Simmer the ham hock for about 2 hours in enough water to cover; about 2
quarts. (You could also use a pound of side pork or slab bacon cut into 1
inch chunks.) Remove the meat from the hock and return it to the cooking
pot. Add the pre-soaked and rinsed beans to the pot, along with the rest of
the ingredients. Add enough water or tomato juice to bring the level to
about 4 1/2 quarts total volume. Cover and simmer for about 4 hours, or
longer if you have a slow cooker. Watch the liquid level while cooking so
the beans don't get too dry.
Adjust the hot peppers to suit your taste.
