such a good recipe! I caramelized chopped onion, garlic then added the soaked bean to stove top pot. I used homemade chicken stock. so so yummy!! thank you for sharing this recipe.

I have never made anything like this and could not believe how delicious it was! Everyone loved it! 

This is such an amazing recipe! I love how flavorful it is! A must-have for Cinco de Mayo!

Amazing!! I used a combination of diced ham and bacon and everyone loved these! So easy too.

These beans were awesome!!!  I was having difficulty finding a ham bone so I used a pound of bacon.  Made them nice and meaty.  I also used dices garlic (the equivalent of 6 cloves).  So I couldn’t remove it before serving.  Left the onions in as well when I served.  We will definitely be making them again.  My beans were on the older side and needed to be cooked in the Instant Pot for about 55 minutes to get them tender.  I am so happy that I stumbled upon your website.  I will be looking for more yummy recipes

Thank you

Hi Ana, Absolutely!

I’ve made these without soaking and no bone and they were pretty good. Second time I soaked them overnight and included the ham bone… AMAZING. Will definitely use that method every time. Thank you for this recipe!

These beans are fantastic. I truly like your blog post. Thank you for sharing it with us.
