Comfort food at its best. Many people will tell you to soak your beans first (however, I have been told that you should soak dry beans when using a pressure cooker. Please follow manufactorers instructions in this case). I never do. I just wash them and cook them as below. For a really hearty winter meal, serve these with a loaf of hot fresh bread or a pan of corn bread and a pan of old fashioned crisp fried potatoes. These may also be made in the pressure cooker and crockpot.

SERVES 8 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 bag dry beans (my favorite is a 15 bean mix)
4-6 ham hocks
1 large onion, chopped
6 cloves garlic, minced (more if desired)
1 large bay leaf
1 tablespoon oregano
1 teaspoon pepper
salt

Directions

1
Wash beans and remove all gravel and such.
2
Place beans, ham hocks, onions and garlic in a large dutch oven filled with water.
3
Add spices.
4
Bring to boil.
5
Simmer on med-low heat for 4 to 5 hours, adding more water as needed.
6
Remove hamhocks when they are tender and falling apart; allow to cool so they can be handled.
7
Remove meat from ham hocks (discarding fat and bones) and return to the soup.

I went in and got your recipe for Ham Hocks and Beans and noticed I never have given it a review. Well here it is...sorry it is late. Today is cold and snowy and I have some left over ham on the bone. Put this together and the smell is fabulous! I have made this several of times and it turns out great everytime. Thank you!

So easy and very good! I made this in my crockpot(didn't soak the beans, just washed them and threw them in). I put all the ingredients in my 5qt., filled it with water and cooked in on high for about 6 hours and it came out perfect. I used 2 cups chopped ham, used about 1/4c. minced onions, and 1 Tbsp. garlic salt. I also didn't have any bay leaves on hand, so, I just omitted that. I served this with cornbread that I made the night before, and it was a super easy Sunday lunch that was ready when I walked in the door from church! I will definitely be making this one again! Thanks for posting, Karen!
