Crock Pot Beans and Ham

Crock Pot Beans and Ham

Cooking with a crock pot makes life so easy at times. I love using my crock pot and these beans are slow cooked and deliciously flavored. All the hard work is done for you while freeing you up to be able to do other things! Making beans and ham in the crock pot before heading out the door, makes returning home and having your meal finished, ideal!

Crock Pot Beans and HamThese beans make a great addition to so many different meal choices. We can eat beans all the time and adding them on tostadas, in tacos, or having them with rice, makes lunch or dinner meals delicious! We even add these beans to our breakfast burritos. So many things can be made with a pot of beans. And not only are they tasty and delicious, it’s cheap to make your own beans and ham! So, grab that crock pot and get started.

Crock Pot Beans and HamThe ham hock adds the right amount of flavor to these beans. You could even make this with bacon if you don’t have a ham hock. These crock pot beans and ham will be a great side dish for any meal.

Crock Pot Beans and HamI used my 7 quart crock pot for this recipe. I always make a lot of food because we sure do love our leftovers! These beans are great to freeze if you have extra. Just add beans to quart size freezer bags, about 2 cups in each bag, and pull out when needed. They can be frozen for approximately 3 months.

      A tablespoon of cayenne pepper seems like a lot…Is that right?

        Hi Marcia, I know you guys will love these beans! You could even add in some jalapenos to boost the flavor that much more! Thanks for your support and comments Marcia! I appreciate it very much!
