Easter Ham Bone and Beans crock pot style

Kitchen Chase, Keeping Meals simple, Keeping you Satisfied

Today is "Just" about the last of the Easter $11.00 spiral sliced ham as I have the crock pot FILLED to the brim with a wonderful ham bone loaded with meat in a pot of beans, and here is how I do my beans about every other Sunday. Today is with the Ham Bone from Easter Sunday! Hope you like it.

Ham and Beans Slow cooked...

Large Crock Pot, adjust amount of beans depending on your crock pot size.

3 cups dry pinto beans (rinsed in Kangen Water 9.5 pH of course!) NO need to soak beans over night in less you want them to cook faster. I like the home to smell yummy all Sunday.

1 large yellow or white onion cut in half or quarters

4 Bay leafs

Fresh cracked sea salt (any salt will do but I'm hooked on FRESH raw salt)

Healthy dose of Italian seasonings about 3 tablespoons, and don't forget to "rub" them in your hands to release the flavors

Fresh cracked Pepper to taste

1 LARGE garlic pod, just remove the excess paper and use it hole, it's for flavor

1 LARGE can of any tomatoes you have, stewed or chopped, doesn't really matter as they get cooked down pretty good after about 8 hours in the pot.

So, pretty simple, after you've rinsed your beans to remove any rocks and "Ugly" beans, cover them with about 3 inches of "Kangen Water" if you have it, and if not visit www.KangenFlows.com and get the DVD, once you start cooking with Kangen Water you'll NEVER and I mean NEVER cook or drink with anything else!
Put your Ham Bone in the middle, and sort of nestle it into the pot, add all the rest of the ingredients, Bay Leaf, Salt, Pepper, Onion's, Garlic, Tomatoes put the lid on, turn up to "HIGH" on the pot for at least 1 hour to get it hot and going, and then I just turn my dial to "Auto" and let it do it's magic till beans are tender. Usually about 7-8 hours. I seem to start my beans on Sunday as soon as I get out of bed 7-8 and we are eatting them with some yummy corn bread by 4 or 5 that afternoon!

I'd like to personally thank the Pork association of America (is that right?) for keeping the price of a spiral sliced pork ham as reasonable as it is. We (my son and I) have been enjoy ham sandwiches, ham and eggs, and I'll attempt to do a potatoe and ham scollop dish this afternoon if I'm up to it, if not? It'll be there for tomorrow... What a great value Ham is!
