    Serrano Pepper, 1 pepper, chopped
    Bell pepper, 1 pepper, chopped
    Onions, 1 large chopped
    Garlic, 1/2 head minced
    2 smoked ham shanks or hocks, about 1.85 pounds

    Safeway fire roasted diced tomatoes with garlic, 1 can

Next day, drain beans, rinse and add to large cookpot, cover with water.
Sauted chopped veggies, add to cook pot

Bring to boil, reduce heat to simmer, cover pot and cook until beans are beginning to soften, about an hour.

Freezes very well. Better a day later. I think this makes about 3 quarts. Divided into 12 servings, 213 cal per serving.
