Steps:
- Rinse the beans under cold water, sorting out any rocks or particles. Place the beans in a stockpot with the ham hock and cover with water by 2 inches. Bring to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer. Cover the pot and simmer for 2 hours, checking occasionally to make sure the water level is fine. Add more water as needed.
- Throw in the garlic, red bell peppers and onions. Cover and continue cooking for another hour or two, remembering to check the water level.
- Add the chili powder, black pepper, and salt (or more to taste). Then cover and cook until the beans are lovely and tender, another 20 to 30 minutes. The liquid should be very thick and stew-like, not thin like a soup.
- Serve with cornbread as a meal, or spoon on top of nachos, tacos, etc.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, firm green beans. Avoid beans that are wilted or have brown spots.
- Trim the green beans. Remove the ends of the beans, where the stem was attached.
- Blanch the green beans. This helps to retain their color and crispness. To blanch the beans, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green. Drain the beans and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Season the green beans. Before cooking the beans, season them with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices.
- Cook the green beans over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from burning.
- Stir the green beans frequently. This will help to ensure that they cook evenly.
- Cook the green beans until they are tender-crisp. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Serve the green beans immediately. They can be served as a side dish or as a main course.
