Mom s Molasses Ham and Beans
This is a recipe my mom made frequently while I was growing up. It's perfect for a cold day when you don't want to bother with lots of cooking. My mother actually used lima beans, but not many people are into those, so I tweaked this dish to make it more enjoyable for my own family.
Ingredients:
- 4 cans (15-1/2 ounces each) navy or cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
- 2 smoked ham hocks (about 1 pound)
- 1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 3/4 cup molasses
- 1/4 cup cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
- 2-1/2 teaspoons ground mustard
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 12 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
- optional: pickled jalapeno peppers and pickled red onions
Directions:
- In a greased 5-qt. slow cooker, combine the first 11 ingredients. Cook, covered, on low 7-9 hours.
- Remove ham hocks. When cool enough to handle, remove meat from bones; discard bones. Cut meat into small cubes; return to slow cooker. Stir in crumbled bacon. If desired, serve with pickled jalapeno peppers and pickled red onions.
