Add all ingredients to a heavy bottomed pot (like a Dutch Oven).
1 Pound Dried Pinto Beans, 2 Each Smoked Ham Hocks, 1 Each Yellow Onion, 3 Each Bay Leaves, 2 teaspoons All Purpose Seasoning, 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder, 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
Add the water and broth and stir.
4 Cups Chicken Broth, 4 Cups Water
Bring to a boil then turn down to a simmer, or a low roll. Cover with the lid. Cook for 1-½ to 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
Remove the ham hocks and shred the meat. Add some of the meat back (to taste).
Remove the bay leaves and serve.
Notes
Smash the beans on the side of the pot to make them more creamy. You might find there's a little too much cooking liquid by the time the beans are done. If that's the case, use a jug and take out some of the fluid. Keep it on the side just in case you want to add some back.
