Beans in a Crockpot

Internet
List of Ingredients
Leftover Ham Bone
1 pound pinto beans -- dried
salt -- to taste
pepper -- to taste
Recipe
Rinse and sort pinto beans. Place in large bowl and add water until beans are covered 3 inches deep. Soak overnight.
Next morning, place ham bone and soaked, drained beans in crock pot; add water to cover. Cook on High for 6 to 8 hours, until beans are tender and meat has separated from bone. Carefully remove ham bones and fat, returning slivers of meat to beans; season to taste. Goes great with cornbread.
To freeze: place boned beans in plastic freezer containers. Freezes very well! (**Variation: Before serving, cook enough rice according to the box directions. Serve with rice at the bottom of the bowl w/ham & beans on top. This will stretch it so you have something left to freeze & makes it even more filling!)
