Ingredients
- 2 garlic (cloves)
- 1 onion
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 cup pinto beans (dried)
- 2 cup tomatoes (canned)
- 1/2 pound smoked ham
- 1/2 cup bell pepper
- 2 teaspoon brown sugar
- 2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon oregano
Cover beans with water and let soak overnight. Drain beans, discarding soaking water. In crockpot, cover beans with fresh water and add remaining ingredients. Cook on LOW for 6-8 hours, until beans are tender. Taste beans, add salt if necessary (don't add salt at the beginning of cooking time it will make the beans tough!).
