Add all ingredients in crockpot. Add enough water to come 2" above beans

Cover & cook on high for 7-8 hours (until beans are tender enough to your liking)

*I love salty beans, so I add more once they're done

**More water may be needed throughout cooking. If beans are too soupy, remove lid during last hour of cooking to thicken

***Anytime there is leftover ham, it gets thrown in as well!
