Ingredients

  • 1 (16 oz.) bag of great northern beans
  • water
  • 4 cups of cubed ham
  • 1 large yellow onion , minced
  • 5 cloves of garlic , minced
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
  • 4 cups low sodium chicken stock
  • 3 cups of water
  • sea salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Sort the beans, discarding any broken beans and rocks. Place beans into a 5 or 6 quart crock pot. Cover with water by 2 inches above the beanas. Let soak for 8 hours or overnight. Drain and rinse, then place back into the crock pot.
  • Add the onions, garlic, black pepper and rosemary to the crock pot. Add the cubed ham, then pour the water and chicken stock over the ham. Cover and cook on high for 4-5 hours or on low for 8-10 hours. Stir well before serving.

Notes

If you have a ham bone or hock, you can add it to the crock pot after the beans and before the rest of the ingredients. Place it into the center of the beans and press it down into the bottom of the pot.
