Slow Cooker White Beans Recipes

Steps:

• Drain soaking liquid from beans, and place them in a Slow Cooker.
• Stir ketchup, water, molasses, onion, mustard, salt, bacon, and brown sugar into the beans until well mixed.
• Cover, and cook on LOW for 8 to 10 hours, stirring occasionally if possible, though not necessary.

Steps:

• Spray 4-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Add lasagna noodles, chicken, onion, garlic, Alfredo sauce, chicken broth, basil, salt and pepper to slow cooker. Stir gently; stir in 1 cup of the cheese.
• Cover and cook on Low heat setting 1 1/2 hours; stir mixture thoroughly until pasta is covered in sauce. Cover; cook 1 1/2 hours longer or until pasta is tender.
• Gradually add spinach, carefully stirring to wilt; sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Increase to High heat setting; cover and cook 5 to 10 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Steps:

• Combine the beans, carrots, celery and garlic in a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker. Stir in the tomatoes with their juices and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the chicken broth, 1 cup water, the bay leaves, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Stir well, cover and cook on low until the beans and vegetables are tender, 7 to 8 hours.
• Uncover and stir the soup. Cut the corn kernels off the cobs and add to the soup along with the ham. Cover and cook on low until the corn is crisp-tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in the chives and remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Discard the bay leaves. Divide among bowls and top with more chives.

Steps:

• Soak beans overnight in water, 12 - 24 hrs, drain and rinse.
• Cook ham hocks in 6 cups chicken broth in slow cooker on high for 60 minutes. Remove bones from slow cooker, once cooled strip meat off the bones and set aside to add at the very end. (alternatives - skip this step and add cooked ham or bacon at the very end).
• While ham hocks cook, chop carrots, celery, onion, and mince the garlic.
• Add rinsed beans, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, and all spices/seasonings to the liquid in the slow cooker.
• Cook for 5 hrs on high heat (longer if on low heat).
• Serve with rice.

Steps:

• Sort beans and soak overnight in enough pure, fresh, water to cover the beans - Or - use the quick method: sort the beans then put them in a saucepan with enough water to cover, and bring them to a boil. Boil the beans for 3 minutes, then cover and remove from heat. Allow to sit for one hour after boiling (don't lift the lid).
• After using either pre-soak method, be sure to rinse and drain the beans completely of their soaking liquid before putting them in the crock pot.
• Put a couple table spoons of olive oil in the bottom of the crock pot then throw in the beans and all the other ingredients (including the 6 cups of fresh water.).
• NOTE: the water used in cooking the beans in the crockpot is NOT the same water used for soaking the beans. The water used to soak the beans should be discarded because it may add bitterness.
• Cover and cook on low for about 8 hours, or until beans are tender and creamy.
• Prep time is long only because of the soaking & slow cooking. The ingredients come together very quickly - no more than about 10 minutes of actual prep.

Steps:

• In a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker, combine the beans, kielbasa, broth, tomatoes (and their juices), onion, garlic, rosemary, and 1 cup water.
• Cover and cook until the beans are tender, on low for 7 to 8 hours or on high for 5 to 6 hours (this will shorten total recipe time).
• Just before serving, stir in the spinach.
• Serve with the bread.
