HOW TO MAKE BEANS IN A CROCK POT RECIPES

Steps:

• Add beans (with seasoning packet) and water to a large crock pot then cook for 4-6 hours on high or until beans are tender.
• Meanwhile, cook onions with ground beef until beef is cooked through, seasoning with salt and pepper then set aside.
• Cut bacon into small strips then cook until crispy and browned. Remove bacon from pan drippings then set aside.
• Cut smoked sausage into bite-sized pieces then set aside.
• Once beans are tender, ladle out any excess liquid; set aside to use later if needed. Add salt and pepper to taste, barbeque sauce and remaining ingredients, including the ground beef, bacon and smoked sausage. Gently stir to combine.
• Add reserved liquid from cooking the beans, 1/2 cup at a time, if needed to ensure the contents of the crock pot have a nice, thick sauce. You don’t want things to be runny but you do want to make sure there’s enough sauce to coat everything nicely (such as with baked beans).
• Continue cooking 1-2 hours on high or until sausage is heated through and everything is hot and bubbly.

Steps:

• Place cut up ham hock in crock pot.
• Rinse beans and snap into halves or thirds.
• Place beans over ham.
• Place chopped onion and minced garlic over bean/ham mixture.
• Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Pour chicken broth over all.
• Cover and cook on high 4 hours.
