Crockpot Charro Beans with Ham

I set aside maybe 2 Cups of Pinto Beans (soak overnight and rinse, add new water)

This is made in a med size crockpot and cooked on low all day.

Add Ham at beginning if you want. We had some left from Thanksgiving. This would be perfect for a small ham bone, otherwise add some cooked bacon and drippings when you add the salsa during the last 30 min of cooking.

Add 1 cups of Paul’s Red Salsa 2 tbsp of cumin, and 1 tbsp salt 

Stir cook an additional 30 min

If you don’t have salsa on hand- use the following

1 can of diced tomatoes or 1 cup of diced- fresh

1 small onion diced

¼ c of cilantro

2 jalapenos or one small can

1 tbsp garlic

2 tbsp cumin

1 tbsp salt
