In a huge pot add;

fill with water

a few ham hocks

couple of bags of pinto beans

carrots

onions

celery

few cubes of bouillon

lots Worcester sauce

cumin

boil it down to 1/2 the pot so it thickens

remove the ham hocks and put the meat back in

Serve it with corn bread and salad and you can feed a crowd for next to nothing

If you want to take the farts out, lol, make the first boil of water with just the beans with a few teaspoons of soda.  The water will turn green.  Drain it and replace it with fresh water then start the recipe from the start, lol.  (or you can throw a potato in but don't serve the potato unless you have someone there you don't like, lol.  The potato is full of the fart material, lol.
