1 pkg. dry pink beans (pinto beans can be substituted. )
1 pkg linquica (portuguese sausage) chorizo could probably be a good sub as well.
1 ham hock with or without bone. To fit in the crock you may need to cut it into chunks first.
1 yellow onion
1-2 cloves minced garlic
1 15oz can tomato sauce
Add pink beans and 4 cups water to crock pot.
cook beans on high 2 hours, until beans are al dente.
Add remaining ingredients.
Continue cooking on high 4-6 hours.
I have a larger crock pot and everything just fit. It can still be done on the stove, but I like the idea of being able to just leave it for the day and coming home to a meaty aroma.
This is such a hearty meal! Perfect for cold weather. Very comforting. We always spooned it over a slice of bread, but you could easily put it over rice or potatoes, maybe even cornbread! It is also just great alone in a bowl as stew.
