Pinto Beans With Ham For The Crock Pot

• 1 lb dried pinto bean, sorted and washed
• 5 cups water
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 4 -8 ounces cooked ham, chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
• salt, to taste

1. Cover beans with water and soak overnight; drain.
2. Place beans in a 6 quart crock pot with water and remaining ingredients except salt. Cook on low setting for 8-10 hours, or until beans are soft and done. Stir a couple of times during cooking, if possible. Add salt after beans are done. Cooking salt in the beans will make them tough.
3. Note: The jalapenos will give your beans a bit of heat. You can control how hot you want them by the amount of pepper you add. If you want no heat, replace the jalapeno with 2 tablespoons of chopped green bell pepper.
