Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ham hock
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 bell pepper, chopped
- 2 lbs (1 bag) dried black beans
- 1 Tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 Tablespoon salt
- 1 Tablespoon brown sugar
- 3 Tablespoons white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional
- 4-6 cups of water
Equipment
- Cheese Cloth
- Twine
- Crockpot
Instructions
- Wrap and tie the ham hock in cheese cloth and twine. This is so the hock doesn't disintegrate into the beans (it leaves pieces of bone in the beans...gross).
- Dump all of the ingredients into a Crockpot (6-8 quart). Make sure the water covering everything so the beans do not dry out. Cook on high heat for 8 hours.
- Unwrap the ham hock, and add any meat from the hock back into the beans. That's the good stuff!
