Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 2 cups dried Bean Mix ((See Note 1))
  • 2 lb smoked ham bone ((See Note 2))
  • 5 leaves bay
  • 1 onion (chopped)
  • 8 cups chicken stock
  • 3 carrots (chopped)
  • 4 celery stalks (chopped)
  • 1 tbsp Tabasco Garlic Pepper Sauce
  • chopped parsley (for garnish)

Instruction

  • Soak the beans overnight in cold water, covered by an inch. Rinse the next day and set aside.
  • In a slow cooker add the ham bone, chopped onion and bay leaves. Add the soaked beans and cover with chicken stock.
  • Cook for 6 hours on HIGH. At the 4 hour mark I like to add the chopped celery, carrots and one tablespoon of Tabasco Garlic Pepper Sauce. Stir as best you can to mix in and cover again. Continue cooking in slow cooker for remainder of time.
  • Remove bay leaves and ham bone. Discard the bay leaves and bone. Chop ham meat and add back to the slow cooker. Mix to incorporate and season if needed.
  • Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with fresh cornbread.
