Answer 2

You could also cook some pinto beans with a ham hock, turkey necks or smoke turkey drumstick.

Get you a bag of beans and let them soak overnight. Drain and rinse well. Bring a pot of water to a boil add your meat then some seasoning (house seasoning, garlic salt, pepper, seasoned salt), let boil for one minute, then add your beans and let them come to a boil, boil the water down some, add a lit to it turn the heat down and them them simmer.

When cooking mine I let them simmer anywhere from 30 minutes to an 1 1/2. It all depends on the beans you buy and the consistency that you want them cooked.

2 Tablespoons unsulphured dark molasses
2 Tablespoons dry mustard
Preheat oven to 350ºF.
