This is a mish-mash of several different Hoppin' John recipes and has been converted to be cooked in a crock pot. Cornbread and a green salad compliment this meal.

How To Make hoppin' john (slow cooker / crock pot)

1
Combine the soaked beans (soak overnight), white onion, celery, red bell peppers, garlic & ham in a large crock pot.

2
In a bowl, whisk the chicken bouillon granules and Cajun seasoning into the chicken broth. Pour into the crock pot and stir to combine the ingredients.
3
Add one bay leaf, pushing it down into the liquid until it is sumerged.
4
Lay the four strips of bacon over combined ingredients, side-by-side. It's okay if they sink.
5
Cook on high 7-8 hours (or low 4-5 hours), until the beans are tender. Discard the bay leaf and rendered bacon. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary (add salt & black pepper to taste).
6
Serve over white rice, garnished with a sprinkle of green onion.
