A medium package. Of dried Northern beans, I used the 16-ounces sizes.
3 to 4 Meaty-ham hock shank, sometimes, I used also meaty ham bone about.
1 small diced white Onion.
Enough water to cover the beans.
Salt & pepper, to taste
1/3 Cup.Of Light brown sugar.
DIRECTIONS:
Step 1:
The first step I started with, was to sort the beans for pebbles, and then I cleaned them under cold water.
Step 2:
In the crockpot, I combined the rinsed beans, with the onion, sea salt, and pepper, as well as the ham shanks hocks or ham, that I’ve chopped into large chunks before.
Step 3:
After that, I added enough water to cover the beans by around 2 inches. This could yield approximately 6 to 8 cups.
Step 4:
Once completed, I covered and cooked over low high heat for approximately 120 minutes, then I reduced to low and continue cooking for an additional 4 to 5 hours, or until beans were tender.
Step 5:
Following that, I removed the ham shanks or hocks, taking out all of the beef.
Step 6:
Following that, I returned the meat to the crockpot and added the brown sugar at this stage.
Step 7:
I found it extremely beneficial to drain around 1 cup of the juice before applying the brown sugar, depending on the thickness or thinness of the beans, and I mixed everything gently to combine.
Step 8:
And to conclude, I preferred to pour some into individual bowls for serving!
I hope that you’ll enjoy this easy crockpot, it’s the ideal way to warm your day, LOL!!! Don’t forget to spice it up using Tabasco sauce!! It’s a genius option, everyone in the house loves it!
