Slow Cooker Ham and White Beans

Super easy, super cheap, and GREAT for a cold day of no cooking!

Ingredients

1 lb package dried northern beans
ham bone, hocks, shanks or diced ham (about 1 pound)
2 tsp onion powder
6 cups water
salt & pepper to taste


Directions

Rinse and sort the beans for any pebbles. Add the the rinsed beans, onion powder, salt, pepper, and ham to the crock pot. Add water. Cover and cook on low about 8 hours, until beans are tender. Remove ham bone, shanks or hocks and pull off the meat. Add meat to the crock pot and mix. Serve with cornbread.

Tips from a Kitchen of Reality

- Won’t lie… ham bones, hocks, etc just gross me out. I bought a small package of country ham pieces at the grocery store.

- I soaked my beans in water overnight and then only had to cook for about 3 hours—we had this for Sunday lunch. Didn’t have all day to let it sit.
