White Beans and Ham in the Slow Cooker
Can't cook? Doesn't matter! With this recipe, skill isn't even required. The only thing you need to know is how to pour dry beans in a pan, cover with water overnight, and then rinse them out in the morning.
Everything else you do involves throwing a few things in the programmable crock pot, walking away for the rest of the day, and coming back when there is about an hour or so left to add some spices. Flavoring is so good with this slow cooker bone in ham. Sounds easy, right?

Recipe
White Beans and Ham
Ingredients
Instructions
- Soak beans overnight. In the morning, drain and rinse the beans and then put them in the crock pot.
- Toss in ham shanks or hocks and onion, and then cover with 2-3 inches of water. You want to have enough water to cook the beans, and if you like your beans soupy, more water is better.
- Set the crock pot on high to have this cooked up in 4-6 hours, or low if you want to keep it on all day. The beans have already been soaked, so you definitely don't need to have it on high for the entire day.
- About an hour before it's ready to serve, go ahead and add the salt and pepper to the beans and ham. Stir it up and let it finish cooking. Enjoy!

Made this a little different but followed basic recipe. I Just rinsed beans. Then put in the crockpot with left over ham, 2 bay leaves, cup of diced onion, salt and pepper. Cooked on low for about 8 hours. Came out delish!
