Ingredients
  • Ham Hock
  • Ham hock left over from having served a spiral sliced type ham or chunks of leftover ham
  • 2 cups chopped onions
  • 2 cups chopped celery
  • 2 cups thinly sliced carrots
  • 1 teaspoon sweet basil
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • Sugar to taste (my secret ingredient and optional)
  • 3-4 cans 15-ounces white beans (not drained)
  • Water to cover the ham
Instructions
  1. Place the ham hock in the slow cooker, cover with water after all the ingredients are placed in the slow cooker. I like to cook this on low in my slow cooker all day for about 6-8 hours. I love the "set and forget" dinner idea.
