BIG CROCK POT FULL OF PINTO BEANS

Steps:

• Sort and rinse beans with 3 waters (from one container to another 3 times).
• Place in a 5 to 6 quart crock pot with soaking water overnight (my preference, but it can be cooked without pre-soaking).
• Note: a 4 quart crock pot will be absolutely full, but I have used a 4 quart pot.
• Drain soaking water and add water to cover by 1 to 1.5 inches.
• Add smoked turkey pieces.
• Cook for 10 hours on low.
• Add salt and peppers to taste.
• Note: I have used cumin, thyme, and oregano for seasoning, but basic salt and pepper is very good).
• Serve with cornbread.
