Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb dry pinto beans
8 cups water
1 large, meaty ham hock
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp salt , or to taste
1/4 tsp ground black pepper , or to taste

Directions:

Place the beans and water in a large stockpot. Add the ham hock, onion and garlic. Season with chili powder, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, and cook for 2 minutes. Cover, and remove from heat. Let stand for one hour.
Return the pot to the heat, and bring to a boil once again. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for at least 3 hours to blend flavors. The longer you simmer, the thicker the broth will become. I like to cook mine for about 6 hours.
Remove the ham hock from the broth, and let cool. Remove the meat from the bone, and return the meat to the stockpot, discarding the bone. Adjust seasonings to taste.
