If you are trying to recover from a big shindig, where you partied like a Rock Star or just need to recharge your batteries from holiday stress, a big bowl of Southern Style Pinto Beans to get you back on track. A big pot of Souther Style Beans of any variety is the ultimate comfort food, nothing absorbs too much alcohol or renders gut healing, peace of mind giving properties like a big bowl of tender juicy beans. I started my succulent beans by, getting a 2-pound bag of pinto beans and soaking overnight.

Then I just added all my ingredients to the crockpot, (EXCEPT THE SALT), to the crockpot and set it on high for 6 hours. You add your salt at the end to taste, the salt will mess up the softening process while cooking, I know many recipes say put it in at the beginning, but I have messed up many pots of beans by not knowing this.

These beans and ham hocks recipe is the best beans recipe I’ve ever tasted! I cannot recommend this recipe enough, I love it!!!
