Pinto Beans Recipe

4.0

10 – 12 cups water

2 smoked ham hocks (alternatively, you can use 1 pack of smoked pork neck bones, 1 smoked turkey leg, etc.)

½ medium-to-large yellow onion, finely chopped

2 garlic cloves, chopped

2 teaspoons chicken base (alternatively, you can use 2 bouillon cubes or 2 tablespoons bouillon powder), or more as needed

1 bay leaf

1 pound dried pinto beans, rinsed and sorted

2 Serrano chiles, stemmed and chopped (alternatively, you can use jalapeño)

1 tablespoon dark chili powder

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

A small pinch of cayenne pepper

Seasoning salt, if needed

Large Stockpot: A large stockpot is essential for cooking the beans and creating the flavorful broth. Make sure it has a lid for covering the pot during cooking.

Cutting Board and Knife: You’ll need a cutting board and a knife for chopping the onion, garlic, and Serrano peppers (or jalapeños).

Stirring Utensil: A large spoon or ladle is handy for stirring and incorporating the ingredients in the pot.

Ladle: You’ll use a ladle to serve the pinto beans into individual bowls.

In a large stockpot, over high heat, combine the water, ham hocks, onion, garlic, chicken base (or bouillon), and bay leaf and bring to a boil.
Cover, turn the heat to a gentle boil, and cook for about 1 hour, allowing the ham hocks to begin to cook and flavor the broth.
After 1 hour, taste the broth and add seasoning salt if needed. Add the beans, Serranos (or jalapeños), chili powder, black pepper, and cayenne and stir to incorporate.
Turn the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the beans are tender and the broth thickens nicely, about 2 to 3 hours.
Then remove from the heat and allow everything to settle for about 1 hour. The beans will thicken up a little bit more as well.
When ready to serve, spoon the beans with some broth into individual bowls, adding a little bit of the meat in each bowl.
