Pinto Beans

2 cups pinto beans
6 cups water
smoked turkey parts/ham hocks (if desired)
salt & pepper to taste
chicken bouillion cubes/Ms. Dash (if no meat used)

Soak beans for 6-8 hours to soften. Drain beans. Cook smoked meat(if using) in 6 cups water. When meat is tender, add beans. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and continue to simmer 1-1/2 hours to 2 hours, or until beans are tender.
