Thanksgiving Tip

So, we are doing a ham and a turkey this year. We won't have a turkey carcass to keep but will certainly have an awesome ham bone!  We plan to keep it, place it in a freezer zipper bag and make ham and bean soup with it later. Winning!  Serve beer bread with the ham and beans and you have the perfect meal. (See my earlier recipe for ham and beans). Awesomeness!!

Simple Ham and Bean Soup

We found a ham bone in the freezer, score!  Since it is starting to turn cool outside, what a perfect time for some bean soup. Yum!  

Ingredients:

Left over ham bone or ham hocks 

2 pound bag of great northern beans or your favorite, soaked overnight

2 Tbsp. Onion Onion

Cracked black pepper

8 cups water

Place your ham bone in a large slow cooker.

Add Onion Onion

Add your beans

Now your water and cracked pepper.  If you like more garlic use Garlic PepperSeasoning instead of the cracked pepper. 

Set your slow cooker on low and cook 6-8 hours. 

Serve with Bountiful Beer Bread or Bountiful Corn Bread (see Tastefully Simple website for the recipe).
