Steps:
- Sort your beans and remove and broken pieces or pebbles. I use one 16 oz package of beans. Place in a large bowl or pot, covering with water.
- Add the baking soda to the water, and let the beans soak at least 6 hours or overnight. After 6 hours or overnight drain the water from the beans.
- Add the beans to a 6 quart crock pot and cover with fresh water. You want the beans to be covered by at least one inch.
- Add the pinto bean seasoning, sugar, vegetable oil, pepper and onion. Taste the beans after several hours of cooking and add more seasonings if you think it needs it. I used a total of one tablespoons pepper.
- Add one of the following for additional seasoning, one ham hock, ham bone, or slice of country ham cut into pieces.
- Place lid on crock pot and cook on high for about 6-8 hours. make sure the beans stay covered with water, so check occasionally. If you need more water, then add it. The beans should have a soup consistency.
- In 6 hours, test beans and if they are cooked. Remove ham bone and pull of the meat or remove meat from ham hock and serve. Don't forget the wedge of cornbread.

Steps:
- Cover beans with water and soak overnight; drain.
- 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.
- 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.

Tips:
- Soak the beans: Soaking the beans overnight or for at least 8 hours helps to reduce cooking time and makes them more digestible. If you don't have time to soak the beans, you can use the quick-soak method: bring the beans to a boil in a large pot, then remove from heat and let stand for 1 hour. Drain and rinse the beans before using.
- Use a slow cooker with a removable crock: This makes it easy to transfer the beans to a serving dish or storage container.
- Add the ham bone or ham hocks to the slow cooker along with the beans: This will infuse the beans with flavor. You can use leftover ham bone or ham hocks, or you can buy them at the store.
- Season the beans to taste: You can use a variety of seasonings to flavor the beans, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and chili powder. You can also add fresh or dried herbs, such as thyme, rosemary, or oregano.
- Cook the beans on low for 8-10 hours: This will give the beans time to become tender and flavorful. You can also cook them on high for 4-6 hours, but they may not be as tender.
Conclusion:
Pinto beans with ham is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The beans are simmered in a flavorful broth with ham, vegetables, and spices until they are tender and creamy. Serve the beans with rice, cornbread, or your favorite sides.
