Delicious pinto beans and ham! I used rinsed canned beans, cooking on the rangetop instead of Crock Pot---added some chicken broth for the liquid. Very good flavor with the spices. THX for posting!

Wonderful! I did not soak the beans overnight, but cooked in the crock pot for five hrs on high. I like cumin, so added 2 teaspoons instead of the 1/2 tsp in the recipe.

I did not put in the chili powder, however, will try it next time. This recipe is fantastic. We all loved it.
