BEST DAMN BORRACHO BEANS PERIOD!

Steps:

• Strain the beans, and discard water. Bring another 8 cups of water, and 32 ounces of chicken stock to a boil.
• While beans are starting to boil, trim the ham hocks of fat; leave fat in large pieces. Cut the meat into small bite-size pieces. Put all into pot. (Remove fat and bones when your beans are done.).
• Cut veggies into small pieces, then combine veggies, meat, fat, and spices into large stock pot or dutch oven and simmer for at least 2 1/2 hours, or until tender. Remove fat when finished. Taste, add more seasoning if needed.
