I substituted sausage for the ham hock and this was very tasty. Will make it again and try it with ham hock next time.

Did not like this one. It seemed like more work then it was worth. I don't think I liked the taste of the ham hock. I would not make this recipe again.

USING EITHER RED OR BLACK BEANS FROM DRY? I NOTICED THAT GUY GOT HIS PACKAGE OF BEANS, OPENED THE BAG AND POURED THEM IN THE POT. ARE YOU NOT SUPPOSE TO WASH THEM AND PICK THROUGH THEM DUE TO THE BOTULISM SPORES?
