For a richer flavor, brown the ham cubes in a skillet before adding them to the slow cooker. If you don't have a ham bone, you can use 1 teaspoon of liquid smoke for a similar smoky flavor. Adjust the amount of salt and pepper to your liking. Serve with a crusty bread or cornbread for a complete meal.
