Beans, of course.
Ingredients:
2 lbs. dried navy beans (OK, if you prefer pintos or red beans that is good too).
3 lbs. leftover ham, diced
1 ham bone saved from the Christmas ham
1 large onion, diced
1 large bell pepper, diced
2 cans diced tomatoes
1/2 lb. celery, diced
1 level tspn. garlic salt
1 level tspn. Lowrys seasoned salt
1 level tspn. Allspice
Preparation:
Soak beans overnight, then rinse and drain
Boil ham bone in large saucepan with water to cover (1.5 qt), about 1 hour
Drain broth from ham bone, this is the base to start the beans
Pull remaining ham from home bone, add to broth
Add beans to broth, all in a large crock pot
Add canned tomatoes, diced onion, bell pepper, celery, spices
Add diced ham
I want liquid to completely cover all contents plus about 1".
Stir contents well, cover crock pot and leave it closed
Cook:
Covered crock pot on high, 3 hours
Turn crock pot to low, allow to continue another 3-4 hours
Makes about 6 quarts, or about 24 eight-ounce bowls.
Good with fresh cornbread or crackers and cheese.
Leftovers freeze and reheat nicely. Personally, I think they are better after freezing and reheating.
No crockpot? No problem. A large stock pot or dutch oven kept at a low bubbling boil will work just as well.
