I made these beans in my slow cooker and they turned out great! I cooked them on low for 6 hours and they were perfect. The beans were tender and the flavor was amazing.

These beans are a great way to use up leftover ham. They're also a great side dish for any occasion. I like to serve them with cornbread or rice.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit! The beans are creamy and flavorful, and the spice level is just right. I like to add a little extra cayenne pepper for a bit of heat.
