                        Leftover ham bone
   1      lb            Dried pinto beans
                        Salt -- to taste
                        Pepper -- to taste

Rinse and sort pinto beans. Place in large bowl and add water until
beans are covered 3" deep. Soak overnight. Next morning, place ham
bone and soaked, drained beans in crock pot; add water to cover. Cook

separated from bone. Carefully remove ham bones and fat, returning
slivers of meat to beans; season to taste.

heat until hot. Serve with cornbread and green salad!
