Pick over beans and wash well. Cover with water and cook for about 2

as you can, and bake at 350 degrees F. until well done.

Cover ham hock with water and add chopped onion. Cook for about 1
hour. Remove meat from bone. Discard fat and bone.

Dice bacon and bake at 350 degrees F. until well done. Drain the fat
and set bacon aside.

or until beans are completely done. PER SERVING: 460 calories, 34 g
