1
Prepare the Beans
Rinse the dried pinto beans under cold water and remove any debris. Soak the beans in water overnight or for at least 6 hours.
2
Cook the Beans
In a large pot, combine the soaked beans and 8 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Add diced onion, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and bacon or ham hock. Simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until beans are tender.
3
Serve
Once the beans are cooked, remove the ham hock and shred the meat if desired. Serve the soup hot with diced onions and pickles on the side. Accompany with hoecakes.
