Crockpot Hamhocks And Pinto Beans Recipes

Steps:

• Fill the crock pot with the 4 cups of water them add the dry pinto beans, chhopped onion, and smoked ham hocks. Cook on low for about 4-6 hours and until ham hocks are tender then serve. You can serve this with yellow rice or by its self.

Steps:

• Sort your beans and remove and broken pieces or pebbles. I use one 16 oz package of beans. Place in a large bowl or pot, covering with water.
• Add the baking soda to the water, and let the beans soak at least 6 hours or overnight. After 6 hours or overnight drain the water from the beans.
• Add the beans to a 6 quart crock pot and cover with fresh water. You want the beans to be covered by at least one inch.
• Add the pinto bean seasoning, sugar, vegetable oil, pepper and onion. Taste the beans after several hours of cooking and add more seasonings if you think it needs it. I used a total of one tablespoons pepper.
• Add one of the following for additional seasoning, one ham hock, ham bone, or slice of country ham cut into pieces.
• Place lid on crock pot and cook on high for about 6-8 hours. make sure the beans stay covered with water, so check occasionally. If you need more water, then add it. The beans should have a soup consistency.
• In 6 hours, test beans and if they are cooked. Remove ham bone and pull of the meat or remove meat from ham hock and serve. Don't forget the wedge of cornbread.

Steps:

• After sorting and washing the beans, put them in the crock pot.
• Add the onions, garlic, and ham hock.
• Pour in the water, then sprinkle with the seasonings.
• COver the crock pot and set on high for 6 hours.
• Once the beans are done, serve them over rice.
• Garnish with green onions.
