Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound Dried Beans Pinto, Navy, or Great Northern Beans
- 1 Ham Hock
- 1 Onion diced
- 3 cloves Garlic minced
- 6 cups Chicken Broth
- 1 Bay Leaf
- 1 tsp Dried Thyme
- 1/2 tsp Ground Black Pepper
- 1 tsp Kosher Salt
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
- 1/4 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
- 2 tbsp Parlsey
Instructions
- Prep the Ingredients. Rinse the dried beans under cold water and remove any debris or broken beans. Dice the onion, carrots, and celery for added flavor and texture.
- Add Everything to the Slow Cooker. Place the beans, ham hock (or ham bone), onion, garlic, bay leaf, and thyme into the slow cooker. Pour in chicken broth or water until the beans are fully submerged.
- Cook Low and Slow. Set the slow cooker to low and cook for 8-10 hours or until the beans are tender and creamy. If using high heat, cook for 5-6 hours, but low and slow provides the best texture.
- Remove the Ham Bone & Shred the Meat. Once the beans are tender, remove the ham hock or bone, shred the meat, and return it to the soup. Stir everything together and adjust seasoning with salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce if desired.
- Serve & Enjoy. Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for added heat. Serve with cornbread, biscuits, or a crusty baguette for a satisfying meal.
