Step 1

Boil ham hocks on high heat for 45 minutes.

Step 2

Add all seasonings except hot sauce and onion. Continue boiling for 20 minutes.

Step 3

Add pinto beans, hot sauce, and onion. Boil on medium heat until beans are done to taste (usually I go for about 1 1/2 hours).

Step 4

Serve with rice and a meat side dish. Tastes even better the 2nd day!
