CROCK POT HAM BONE AND BEANS

Crock Pot Ham Bone and Beans image

Many variations to Ham Bone (or Hocks) and beans but this is pretty much how I remember it from my childhood. I find by not soaking the beans they have better texture and flavor.I use Great Northern Beans as my favorite choice of bean for this recipe. I have used 15 bean mix with good results just omit the ham flavor packet.

Tips:

Choose the right ham hock. Look for a ham hock that is meaty and has a good amount of fat. This will help to flavor the beans and make them more hearty.
Soak the beans overnight. This will help to soften them and make them more digestible. If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 1 minute, then removing them from the heat and letting them stand for 1 hour.
Use a variety of beans. This will add flavor and texture to the dish. Some good choices include pinto beans, black beans, kidney beans, and navy beans.
Add vegetables to the pot. Vegetables such as carrots, celery, and onion will add flavor and nutrients to the dish. You can also add other vegetables, such as potatoes, corn, or green beans.
Season the beans well. Use a variety of spices and seasonings to flavor the beans. Some good choices include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder.
Cook the beans on low heat for 6-8 hours. This will allow the beans to cook evenly and develop a rich flavor.
Serve the beans with cornbread or rice. This will make a hearty and satisfying meal.
