I make these all the time and they truly remind me of my childhood. I do soak the ham hocks/shanks for 24 hours and I actually chop up the onion and throw in with the shanks and water. I also quarter an onion and add to the beans when soaking overnight. I just use the onions with the shanks and discard the one's I soaked with the beans. Before I serve the beans, I take about a cup and smash with a fork and add them back to the mixture. It seems to make them a little thicker and so delicious. The house seasoning is a must and I add it toward the end, so I can taste to be sure I do not add too much salt since the water the hocks soaked in are very salty. If you are in the south and remember bean soup as a kid, this recipe is a must!!

Delicious! They were done in 5 hours though on low in my crockpot. If I had cooked them longer they would have been overdone. I added a tomato which was slightly past it's prime. Boiled it til it was soft, then seeded and coarsely chopped it. I used Mexican oregano instead of Italian. Next time, I'm going to add a tad bit of jalapeno pepper I think. I made some cornbread to go with it. Big hit with the men in my house!

Paula has yet to steer me wrong. I made 1 1/2 batches for a potluck, and the people literally would not stop raving about the beans! I didn't have time to do the overnight soak, so I did the quick soak by bringing the beans to a boil, letting them sit for an hour, draining, and then proceeding with the 5 hours of cooking. Obviously worked fine!

This was a great recipe. I was looking for a new way to cook beans since I am not a huge bean lover, but my family loves them. The chili powder and oregano gave it a slight chili-taste. I did have to cook them for about 8 hours. I mashed a few on the side of the pot to make a thicker gravy.

This recipe was simple and delicious. I added garlic gloves to the recipe which added to the flavor. I put the beans in my slow cooker and let them cook overnight about 9 hours. When I woke up in the morning my whole entire house smelled yummy!! This is a perfect dish for the cold winter weather :

I made this last night and cooked the beans in a slow cooker. The recipe called for cooking the beans in a slow cooker for 5 hours. After 5 hours the beans were still hard. So I checked them every hour up to 8 and they were still hard. After that I fell asleep and the beans burned after all the water evaporated. It was awful. Also I made the mistake of not reading the recipe carefully. Don't add the House seasoning mixture. You're only suppose to add in what you want per taste.

Just the best Pinto Beans...EVER! Growing up in North Carolina, I know a little something about Southern Cooking and tasting the rest from 'round the world... we got the best. I used about 1/2 pound of bacon and let them cook on low for 12+ hours... They were like heaven when tasted
