directions
- In a large pot add pinto beans, and fill with water.
- Add salt, pepper and baking soda. Over medium high heat bring to a rapid boil.
- In a medium fry pan, crumble the bulk sausage and brown. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon and add to the beans.
- In the same fry pan with the sausage grease add chopped onions, chopped bell peppers, and both fresh and canned mushrooms.
- Saute the vegetable mixture over medium heat until the onions are clear and the fresh mushrooms have cooked, about 15 minutes.
- Add the vegetable mixture, grease and all to the beans.
- Add cubed ham.
- Add mashed roasted garlic, creole seasoning and the oregano.
- Bring to a rapid boil, then reduce heat to low and cook for 3 to 4 hours adding water a cup at a time as needed it will form a thick broth. Beans are done when you can mash one easily with no resistance.
- You can also add all ingredients to a crock pot and cook on low for 12 hours 6 hours on high.

This made the best pot of beans I've tried lately. Different and delicious! I will make these again & they would be a terrific offering at any potluck. I prepared the recipe in a crockpot so after adding all ingredients just covered with water. I used fresh garlic, 2 ~19 oz cans of diced tomatoes, and hot smoked sausage. I also didn't add the salt as I try to reduce it wherever I can. Served with recipe #466601. Thank you for sharing the recipe! :-)
