Pin This RecipeThis is the last recipe from our Christmas ham. I always look forward to finishing off the ham with a nice big bowl of white beans and a slice of cornbread. This recipe is super simple. It uses a pound of dried beans and simmers all day in the crockpot with a big ham bone. The Honey Baked Ham store sells ham bones year-round (found that out on twitter). If you don’t have a ham bone, use some ham shanks, ham hocks or just some chopped up ham. I love the creaminess of white beans combined with the saltiness of the ham. This is comfort food at its best!

Corin.irene – absolutely
I have a 4 lb semi bonless ham. Can I just throw that in there with the beans and water?
I grew up eating this! Reminds me of Sunday afternoons in the winter at my grandparents' house. I've been craving it forever, and lo and behold – found the recipe here!
How long does it cook for?
Found this on Pinterest…we had it for dinner last night–delicious! thanks for sharing!
Found this on Pinterest. We will definitely be having this for dinner!
I just made Ham and Beans and am getting ready to blog about it. Tis the season. 🙂 I'm so glad to find out that Honey Baked sells bones year round. Great information.

Ahh I think I found my soul mate here. My husbands name is Tad, I love to cook and bake, and I love that your blog is "Plain Chicken." The question is you you like "Naked Noodles" I too have expanded my eating selection as I get older, but still just love things simple. I will defiantly enjoy your blog:) Thanks
Just made the same thing for the hubs using a leftover bone. He loves this. But never thought to use the crock pot. SO much easier.
This is on our menu for Monday. My Grandma used to make ham and beans for me when I was a little girl, so this is comfort food for me, too! Thanks for the recipe!
Hand me a bowl of this and a bottle of hot sauce and I'm in heaven.
I'd be right there next to you! Love everything hot!

Yes – just throw them in dry. Isn't that great!
So you don't have to soak the beans? Just put them in dry??? Sounds so good!!!
Please keep the slow cooker recipes coming! I made the cream cheese chili and it turned out so well!
I really luv those beans. I need to remember to cook them more often.
We're have white beans and cornbread on the menu for tomorrow.
