Directions:
1. 2 cans of beans with their liquid into a 2-quart saucepan.
2. Add smoked ham hock and water.
3. Simmer over medium heat for 1 hour until the meat starts to loosen from the bone.
4. Remove from heat and cool until the hock is cool enough so the meat may be removed from the bone.
5. Place the meat, beans and liquid in a food processor.
6. To the mixture add onion powder, garlic salt, red pepper, salt, and lard.
7. Process for only 4 seconds.
