Ingredients

  • 1 pound dried kidney beans
  • 8 cups water
  • 1 ham hock

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • In a large skillet, cook the beef, onion, salt and pepper over medium heat until meat is no longer pink. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Drain. Add to bean mixture. Simmer, uncovered, for 1 hour. Discard bay leaves.

    Smoked or cured ham hocks are usually available in your grocer's meat department. If you can't find them, ask your butcher for some leftover ham bones.
