This is a very simple ham and bean recipe. A meaty smoked Ham Hock and homemade chicken broth with give plenty of flavor to the beans. But if you want celery and carrots or anything else added in, go for it. It's all good! :)

How To Make simple crock pot ham hock and beans

Step 1

Rinse the beans 2 or 3 times in cold water to remove dirt. Discard any bad beans.

Next morning, drain the beans in a colander.

Place the ham hock in a crock-pot. Add the drained beans, onion, garlic, and chicken broth. Cover and cook on low for about 5-7 hours, or until beans are tender.
Step 5

Remove the meat from the ham hock(s) and return the meat back to the crock pot. Salt and pepper the beans the last 10 minutes of cooking, if salt is needed. Serve with hot buttered corn bread.
