Ingredients

1 cup dried pinto beans
1 ham hock
2 teaspoons salt
½ (16 ounce) package bacon, chopped
½ onion, finely chopped
2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
1 teaspoon chili powder

Directions

Place beans in a bowl with water to cover. Soak 8 hours to overnight.
Drain the beans; place in a slow cooker with ham hock and salt. Cover with water. Cook on Low until beans are soft, about 8 hours.
Place bacon in a large pot. Cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until starting to crisp, about 6 minutes. Add onion; cook and stir until soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir until beginning to brown, about 3 minutes.
Transfer beans to the bacon mixture using a slotted spoon. Mash with a potato masher, adding liquid from the slow cooker as needed. Add chili powder. Cook and stir until combined, 3 to 5 minutes.

Cook's Notes:

If a ham hock is not available, you can use any pork scraps instead.

The amount of bacon used should add up to about 6 slices.
