- 2 stalks celery diced
- ½ cup carrot diced
- 1 medium onion diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 4 cups chicken stock
- 4 cups water
- 1-2 ham hocks
- 1 ½ cups dry pinto beans
Instructions
- Wash ham hocks thoroughly to remove some of the excess salt. Place into the crock pot.
- Add diced onions, carrots, and celery, along with minced garlic, bay leaf and dry pinto beans.
- Cover with water and broth and then close the crock pot lid.
- Set to high and cook for 8 hours.
- Once cook time is up, carefully remove ham hocks and cut up the meat. Some people eat all of the meat, skin, etc. from a ham hock (it can become very tender when cooked long enough). Place chopped ham back into the crockpot and stir.
- Taste and season with salt and pepper, if necessary.
