Start by preparing the Crock Pot. Lightly grease the interior or use a slow cooker liner to prevent sticking.
Cut a pre-cooked 1 lb ham steak into small, bite-sized cubes and set aside.
Open a 20 oz can of pineapple chunks and pour both the fruit and juice into the Crock Pot.
Drain and rinse two 15 oz cans (a total of 30 oz) of great northern beans. Add the beans to the Crock Pot with the pineapple.
In a small mixing bowl, combine 0.25 cup of brown sugar, 2 tbsp of yellow mustard, 1 tbsp of soy sauce, 0.5 tsp of garlic powder, 0.5 tsp of onion powder, and 0.25 tsp of black pepper. Mix until smooth.
Pour the mixture over the ham, pineapple, and beans in the Crock Pot. Stir gently to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Set the Crock Pot to cook on low heat for 4 hours. If you prefer a slightly faster cook time, set on high and cook for 2 hours, but let the flavors blend longer if possible.
Once cooking is complete, give the dish a gentle stir and serve warm. It pairs perfectly with cornbread or a side salad.
