Step 1: Place ham hocks, onion and garlic into a large cooking pot.
Step 2: Add enough water to fill the pot about 3/4 full.
Step 3: Boil 1 to 2 hours or until the hocks are tender.
Step 4: Season
Step 5: Add pinto beans and water as necessary and continue cooking 1 to 2 hours more until the beans are done.
Step 6: If you soaked the beans before hand, the time required for this part may be reduced.
Step 7: If you like them zesty, a couple of Jalapeno peppers may be added here.
