Crock Pot Pinto Beans & Ham

Slow Cooker Pinto Beans and Ham!  Simple, delicious Country Cookin. 

The weather is really crazy around here in North Texas. One day it's warm and one day it's chilly, and then the next day we're freezing are patooties off. I sure wish mother nature would make up her mind. All I can say is ONLY in TEXAS! 

We have another cold snap coming in so a big pot of Pinto Beans & Ham would hit the spot perfectly. A lot of people think pinto beans and cornbread is old school food, but I love it, nothing is better than a big bowl of pinto beans with a wedge of cornbread on the side. It just screams country cooking.

Anytime I have a big ham bone, leftover ham or smoked ham hocks. Pinto beans and cornbread is the first meal that comes to mind. Beans are really good for you and it is a pretty cheap meal to boot. This recipe makes a large quantity so it's perfect for feeding a crowd. 

Darn that looks so good. Break off the ham meat from your ham hock or ham bone and place back into the beans and serve with a wedge of homemade cornbread. I like my beans with a bit of fresh onion. That's optional but so good.
