4 cups of dry beans, rinsed
4 Tablespoons oil
5 Tablespoons vinegar
Salt to taste
Ham hock, or 3 slices of bacon
Water
Add beans, oil, vinegar and salt. Add ham hock or bacon, if using bacon the slices will just float onto of water. Add water to cover beans, leaving about a few inches space at the top. Cook on high 4-6 hours or until the bean are cooked and soft. May have to add more water so keep an eye on them as it get close to 4 hours. Serve with cornbread or over rice. We love to crumble our cornbread over the beans…so good that way!
Do you soak your beans overnight?
ReplyDeleteNo I don't soak the beans but cooking them in the crockpot on high for 6 hours should be fine, at least it has always worked for me. Just keep an eye on the liquid and when the beans are soft enough I turn the crockpot to low until I am ready to eat dinner.
