Ingredients
• 1 pound of pinto or pink beans (nutrition info calculated with pinto)• Leftover ham (hamhock or bacon with also do) - calculated with a 14 oz ham steak that was cubed, but reduce for lower calories and fat• 6 cups of water• 2 tbsp of garlic• ½ cup of chopped onion• 1 6-oz. can of tomato paste• 2 tsp chipotle chili powder (I use a very spice chili powder, so it makes this dish HOT!)• 2½ tbsp brown sugar• ½ tsp cumin• ½ tsp cinnamon• Salt to taste
Directions
1. Soak cleaned & washed beans overnight in enough water to cover. Drain and rinse.

2. In a large pot, boil beans, meat, and water for ~1 hour until beans are almost tender.

3. Add remaining ingredients and stir well. Bring back to boil, then reduce heat and simmer for another 2 hours at least.

Alternatively, place into slowcooker on low for at least 10 hours or bake at 325°F for 1-2 hours (if beans are tender first).
