Beans N' Ham Hocks image

This is one of the most simple meals that I make I put it all the ingredients in the crockpot and later I have a very simple yet filling meal for my family.I use pink beans but you could use whatever you want. I serve mine with rice and a bit of cheese on top. Enjoy! *Update* I realized after two people reviewed my recipe and after I went to my local butcher that the ham hocks I get are rather large (I'm going to guess about as big as a medium eggplant if not larger). Which is why my recipe only lists one. You may want to change that to 2 or more depending on the actual size of your ham hocks.

Time 6h15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (16 ounce) package pink beans (washed and picked clean of rocks and soaked over night)
1 small onion, diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 large ham hock, split in half
6 -8 cups water or 6 -8 cups chicken stock
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • In crockpot add cleaned beans, onions, garlic and ham hock.
  • Cover with water or chicken stock and cook on medium for 6 hours.
  • At about the half way point the meat should come off the ham hock, if not let it cook a little longer until you can. Remove the ham hock from beans and let cool.
  • Remove the layer of fat from the ham hock and shred the meat into bite size pieces and return to the crockpot.
  • When beans are done add salt and pepper to taste and skim as much fat off the beans as possible.
