How do you season pinto beans?

I have made beans quite a few times but no matter how much I've put different types of seasoning like garlic powder, onion powder, chilli powder, etc they still come out bland. Let me know how you season it and measurements?

Sauté the bacon /hocks with onion and garlic first to caramelízale then add some veggie or meat stock or boullon cubes/water and beans and a bay leaf and spices. Bring to boil then Simmer until you like the consistency and flavor
