*This recipe is one of my favorites. You don't even have to soak the beans. Cooks all day and is wonderful served with hot cornbread.


1 pound dry great northern or pinto beans
1 medium onion, diced
2 smoked ham hocks (or smoked hog jowl or diced ham if prefered)
1 tsp. liquid smoke flavoring (hickory is best)
1/2 stick butter or margarine
A few dashes of Tobasco (if desired)
Water to cover beans
Salt and Pepper to taste

First, wash and pick through beans in a collander. Be sure all bits of stone and dirt are tossed out, including any "bad" looking beans. Add beans and all ingredients to crock. Cook on high 6-8 hours.
Before you are ready to serve, taste broth and add salt and pepper to taste.

Serves 6-8
