Remove the meat from the hock and return it to the cooking pot. Add in the pre-soaked and rinsed beans to the pot, along with the rest of the ingredients. Add in sufficient water or possibly tomato juice to bring the level to about 4 1/2 qts total volume. Cover and simmer for about 4 hrs, or possibly longer if you have a slow cooker. Watch the liquid level while cooking so the beans do not get too dry.
- Adjust the warm peppers to suit your taste.
