Steps

1

Sorted, washed and soaked beans overnight in water. NEXT day, drained and rewashed beans and added to crockpot.
2

Added all the ingredients to crockpot, except ham pieces. Because, i used the precooked ham pieces. So i added them once beans had been cooking for a couple hours so the ham dont turn so dark brown and dried out looking. Cook on high for 4 hours, or low 6 hours.
3

Also, if broth/water starts to cook out of them midway, just add more.
