SOUTHERN PINTO BEANS
There's just something comforting about a big ol' pot of beans and huge chunk of cornbread. And fortunately a big bowl of comfort isn't that hard to create. Yes, you'll need to soak the beans,

Steps:
- Inspect the beans to remove any small rocks or debris. Rinse well. Place the beans in a large stock pot or deep bowl and cover with at least 2 inches of water. Allow the beans to soak for about 8 hours or overnight. Drain completely.
- When ready to cook, place the soaked beans, 8 cups of water, ham hock, bouillion cubes, and chopped onion in a large pot with a lid. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Add salt to taste. I usually add about 1 teaspoon, but the exact amount of salt needed will vary based on the sodium level in the brand of bouillon and your taste.
- Cook over medium low for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until tender to your liking. Remove the ham hock, shred the meat, and return it to the pot, if desired.
