PINTO OR ANASAZI BEANS

Steps:

• 1. I found these recently at a local store and decided to try them, they are similar in taste to pinto but with a milder "bean" flavor. They are really outstanding and my new go to bean!
• 2. NOTE: This is a crockpot recipe. These can also be made on the stove top, reduce cooking time to about 2-3 hrs. over a med. simmer.Ham hocks can usually be found in the section of your store where the whole hams are sold. If not using ham hocks, salt pork or bacon, but the ham hocks give you more flavor!
