CAMPFIRE BEANS RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Number Of Ingredients 9
Steps:
- Rinse the beans under cold water, sorting out any rocks or particles. Place the beans in a stockpot with the ham hock and cover with water by 2 inches. Bring to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer. Cover the pot and simmer for 2 hours, checking occasionally to make sure the water level is fine. Add more water as needed. Remove the ham hock and remove the meat from the bone. Chop and set aside, discarding any cartilage or extra fat. Throw in the garlic, red bell peppers and onions. Add the chili powder, black pepper, and salt (or more to taste. Cover and continue cooking for another hour or two, remembering to check the water level. Cook until the beans are lovely and tender, another 20 to 30 minutes. Add the shredded ham hock back to the beans. The liquid should be very thick and stew-like, not thin like a soup. Give one final taste, and adjust any seasonings to your liking. TASTING NOTES: Serve with hot sauce, or add 1 finely chopped jalapeno towards the last 20-30 minutes of cooking, if you want a lot more heat!
Tips:
- To save time, soak the beans overnight in cold water before cooking. This will help reduce the cooking time by about half.
- If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by bringing them to a boil in water, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for one hour before cooking.
- Use a large pot or Dutch oven to cook the beans. This will give them plenty of room to expand and prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Add plenty of liquid to the pot, about 3 cups for every pound of beans. This will help prevent the beans from drying out and becoming tough.
- Season the beans with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. You can also add in some vegetables, such as onions, celery, and carrots, for extra flavor.
- Bring the beans to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for at least 1 hour, or until the beans are tender.
- Serve the beans hot with your favorite sides, such as cornbread, mashed potatoes, or rice.
