These beans are delicious..they taste like my mom used to make. I have made them several times and they are a hit with my family. I throw all of the ingredients in my crockpot and simmer on low for about 6-8 hours. The only change I make to the recipe is to use chunked boneless ham instead of the ham hocks. They still have a great flavor without the added fat of the ham hocks. They are great with homemade southern cornbread.
I make this dish often; I have never really measured the ingredients but can give you a reasonable approximation. Note: Freeze leftover cooking liquid, and then add to bean soup, ham or cabbage dishes, or use to cook dumplings in. It’s delicious!
