👨‍🍳 Instructions

Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven.

Add 3/4 cup of chopped onion, green onions, and garlic; cook and stir until softened, about 4 minutes.

Pour in the soaked beans and fill with enough water to cover beans by 3 inches.

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer uncovered for 2 hours, or until tender.

While beans are cooking, place ham hocks in smaller pot with 1/4 cup of the chopped onion.

Cover with water and simmer, until meat pulls off of the bone easily, about 1 hour.

Drain and add to the beans.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Place ham, bacon, and remaining onion in a baking dish.

Bake 15 minutes or until mixture is crispy.

Drain the bacon and ham mixture, and add to the beans.
