Ingredients

  • 1 pound Navy beans
  • Leftover ham and ham hock approximately 3-5 pounds
  • 32 ounces chicken broth add more if needed
  • 16.3 ounce can buttermilk biscuits

Instructions

  • Soak the navy beans overnight in water. Make sure about two inches of water covers the beans as they will expand. Drain the water the next morning.
  • Add the beans to the slow cooker.
  • Next, add the ham and ham hock. Pour the chicken broth over the beans and ham. The liquid should cover the beans and most of the ham so it will get tender as it cooks.
  • Cook on the low temperature setting for seven hours.
  • After seven hours, cut the raw biscuit dough into smaller pieces and add it to the top of the slow cooker. Replace the lid and cook another 45 minutes to one hour or until the biscuits are done.
