CROCK-POT WHITE BEANS

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.

PERFECT CROCK POT BEANS

Steps:

• Pour all of your cans of beans and tomatoes, brown sugar and ketchup into a 4 quart crock pot
• Stir until well combined
• Top with uncooked bacon
• Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or high for 2.5-3 hours, stirring occasionally throughout cooking

SLOW COOKER WHITE BEAN SOUP

Steps:

• Mince the garlic, dice the onion, slice the celery, and peel and slice the carrots. Add the olive oil, garlic, onion, celery, and carrots to a large (5qt or larger) slow cooker.
• Give the beans a quick rinse in a colander and then add them to the slow cooker, along with the bay leaf, rosemary, thyme, paprika, and some freshly cracked pepper.
• Add six cups of water to the slow cooker and stir to combine the ingredients. Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on low for 8-9 hours or on high for 4-5 hours.
• After 8 hours on low or 4 hours on high, stir the soup and begin to mash the beans against the side of the slow cooker to thicken the soup. Once the soup is thickened to your liking, start adding salt to taste. Begin with 1/2 tsp and add more until the soup tastes flavorful to you. I used about 2 tsp total.
• Serve the soup hot with crackers or crusty bread for dipping.

WHITE BEANS AND HAM

Steps:

• Soak beans overnight. In the morning, drain and rinse the beans and then put them in the crock pot.
• Toss in ham shanks or hocks and onion, and then cover with 2-3 inches of water. You want to have enough water to cook the beans, and if you like your beans soupy, more water is better.
• Set the crock pot on high to have this cooked up in 4-6 hours, or low if you want to keep it on all day. The beans have already been soaked, so you definitely don't need to have it on high for the entire day.
• About an hour before it's ready to serve, go ahead and add the salt and pepper to the beans and ham. Stir it up and let it finish cooking. Enjoy!
