2 pounds dry pinto beans
4 pounds ham hocks, rinsed
2 quarts water
1 (12 ounce) can beer
2 medium onions, chopped

2 tablespoons oil
3 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
2 1/2 tablespoons chili powder
3 beef bouillon cubes
1 tablespoon cilantro or parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Salt, to taste

Sort beans and rinse. Place beans in 6- to 8-quart pan; add ham hocks, 2 quarts water and beer. Bring to boil over high heat; reduce heat, cover and simmer until beans are almost tender (about 2 1/2 hours).
Meanwhile, in 10- to 12-inch fry pan over medium heat, cook onions and garlic in oil, stirring often until onions are limp (about 10 minutes).
Stir in the tomato sauce, chili powder, bouillon cubes, cilantro or parsley, and cumin. Bring to boil over high heat; turn heat to medium-low and simmer sauce, uncovered, until reduced to 3 cups (about 20 minutes).
