  • 1 smoked ham hock
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  • Cover pinto beans with water in a large bowl. Soak beans for 4 hours, changing water every 30 to 45 minutes. Drain.
  • Bring 6 cups water to a boil in a large pot. Add pinto beans, ham hock, and kosher salt to the pot. Pour in more water if needed to cover ingredients by at least 1 inch.

  • Remove ham hock from beans; cut meat from the bone, chop the ham, and return to pot.
  • Stir tomato sauce and brown sugar into the beans. Continue to simmer until beans are tender and flavors are blended, about 1 more hour.
