Ingredients
4 cups dried pinto beans
1 ham hock
One 15-ounce can tomato sauce
1/4 cup chili powder
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 to 3 tablespoons white vinegar
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 onion, diced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
- Rinse the beans under cold water, sorting out any rocks/particles. Cover in cold water and soak for 6 to 8 hours.
- Drain the beans and place in a stockpot with the ham hock; cover with fresh water by 2 inches. Add the tomato sauce, chili powder, brown sugar, white vinegar, garlic, onions, 1 tablespoon salt and 2 teaspoons pepper.
- Bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer, adding a little more liquid if the level gets too low, until the beans are tender, 3 to 4 hours. Taste, and season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
