    This was easy, easy, easy. I woke up with my boyfriend to make his lunch at 4am and decided I wanted chili beans thought to look online and to my surprise I had all the ingredients in my kitchen. Well except the Hamhock but I did have a package of bacon which worked wonderfully. I threw everything to soak and started my crockpot at 1 o'clock and dinner was served at 6:30. I even went to my local restaurant (Marie Calendar's and bought some cornbread (its too darn hot in California to turn on an oven. So good I'm definately making them again only now doubling the batch we had four adults and it we could have eaten a bit more. Makes great leftovers.

    OMG! Tasty wasn't the word for it. Scrumptious is more like it. My son is a meat freak and I wanted to go meatless just one day out of the week. I came across this recipe and used the ham hocks with the beans, doing exactly what Ms. Dean said in her instructions.

    Here in Kentucky, they don't soak overnight. They don't add spices like the "House Spice" or Chili Powder. They don't add a chopped onion. They just cook the pinto beans until they're almost tender, then put a ladle of lard in it and cook it down until it's thick. That's soup beans here. I would much rather have Paula Dean's pinto beans. People have to try this recipe if only once. They'll want to save the recipe for future dinners.

    I took punkin0809's advice and soaked the beans with an onion. I didn't want to use ham hock, I used thinly sliced (wafer slice pork chops. I used 3. I wish I had used all 6. I waited to add salt until the very end, which it did need. However, I added the pepper and garlic powder from the start. I also added a dash of cayenne. Easy and delicious.

    Awesome!!! I loved it! I don't eat beef, and I don't really do much with ham in my house. So I exchanged the meat out with Bacon and let it cook all day with it, and as well added stewed tomatoes!

    AWESOME!! These were certainly a hit a our house! I plan on making this dish at least once a month. Very easy to prepare and very tasty! I served these with cornbread, fried cabbage and fried pork chops. Next time, I plan on having them with fried potatoes and meatloaf. Thanks Paula for such a tasty dish!

    I used packaged chili seasoning and smoked baby back ribs.....it was delicious....I am from the south where you just put the beans in the pot a little salt and pepper and a ham hock and let it go......Then you go to my husband from South America where beans and rice is a daily meal with only salt and fresh herbs.....we loved it!!!
    I believe the ribs made it most of all a complete meal.....just add homemade jalape?o and cheese corn bread and you have some meal.
