Beans N' Ham Hocks image

This is one of the most simple meals that I make I put it all the ingredients in the crockpot and later I have a very simple yet filling meal for my family.I use pink beans but you could use whatever you want. I serve mine with rice and a bit of cheese on top. Enjoy! *Update* I realized after two people reviewed my recipe and after I went to my local butcher that the ham hocks I get are rather large (I'm going to guess about as big as a medium eggplant if not larger). Which is why my recipe only lists one. You may want to change that to 2 or more depending on the actual size of your ham hocks.

Time 6h15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (16 ounce) package pink beans (washed and picked clean of rocks and soaked over night)
1 small onion, diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 large ham hock, split in half
6 -8 cups water or 6 -8 cups chicken stock
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • In crockpot add cleaned beans, onions, garlic and ham hock.
  • Cover with water or chicken stock and cook on medium for 6 hours.
  • At about the half way point the meat should come off the ham hock, if not let it cook a little longer until you can. Remove the ham hock from beans and let cool.
  • Remove the layer of fat from the ham hock and shred the meat into bite size pieces and return to the crockpot.
  • When beans are done add salt and pepper to taste and skim as much fat off the beans as possible.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover ham. I usually make a big ham for Easter and then use the leftovers to make this dish. It's a great way to extend the holiday feast.

I love the smoky flavor that the ham hocks give to this dish. I also like that the beans are cooked in a flavorful broth. It's a great way to get your daily dose of protein and fiber.

I'm not a big fan of beans, but I love this recipe. The ham hocks add so much flavor and the beans are cooked perfectly. I always serve this dish with a side of rice.

I've been making Beans n' Ham Hocks for years and this recipe is the best I've tried. The beans are always cooked to perfection and the ham hocks are fall-off-the-bone tender. I love serving this dish with cornbread and collard greens.
