SLOW COOKER HAM AND BEANS

Slow cooker Ham and Beans soup! I use my leftover meaty ham bone from Easter just like my mom used too. You'll love the way the ham falls off the bone as you shred it for the soup. Throw in all the ingredients and let it cook all day and then enjoy. Don't forget the chunky bread to dip in the soup.

Tips:

Choose a ham that is fully cooked. This will reduce the cooking time and ensure that the ham is safe to eat.
Soak the beans overnight before cooking. This will help to reduce the cooking time and make the beans more tender.
Use a slow cooker with a lid that fits tightly. This will help to keep the moisture in the pot and prevent the beans from drying out.
Add enough liquid to cover the beans. This will help to prevent the beans from burning.
Season the beans with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add vegetables, such as onions, carrots, and celery, to the pot.
Cook the beans on low for 8-10 hours, or until they are tender. You can also cook the beans on high for 4-5 hours, but be sure to check on them more frequently.
Once the beans are cooked, remove the ham from the pot and let it cool slightly. Then, shred the ham and add it back to the pot.
Serve the ham and beans with rice, potatoes, or bread.
