Making ham and beans in the slow cooker brings out more flavor. There’s something about making ham and beans in the slow cooker
Back in the day I remember my mom making ham and beans the old fashioned way.
She would use the leftover ham from Easter dinner, place it in a heavy roasting pan filled with water and navy beans and cook in the oven for hours.
Type of Ham to Buy
This recipe calls for 2 pounds of diced ham. If you can find a 2 pound ham great but I like to purchase a 3-4 pound ham to have some extra meat for making paper thin sliced ham sandwiches.
Look for a ham similar to the photo below. It doesn’t necessarily need to be a bone-in ham just don’t purchase a canned ham. I like using Frick’s brand hams.
If purchasing a larger ham use a kitchen scale to cut off 2 pounds of meat for this recipe.
