CrockPot Cookin'...

[JD McGee]

I plan to do some bbq beans in the crockpot tomorrow...(the beans are soaking overnight as I type)...and am not sure where to post the thread. This recipe calls for a 20 oz bag of Cajun 15 bean soup mix...I am using Hurst's HamBeens sans the spice packet that was included...below is the recipe...

The beans...^^^...
1lb diced smoked pork...
2 cups chicken broth...
1 cup chopped onion...
18 oz. bbq sauce...
1/4 cup brown sugar...
1/4 cup molasses...
1/2 teaspoon salt...
1/4 teaspoon cayenne...

This is where I'm at so far...:cool:

Good start. Do you ever heat them to shorten the soak? I season the water and boil for 15 min then let em sit overnight.

We do too Bob...I've made the soup version a few times but thought I'd try my version of some bbq beans...hopefully they'll turn out...if not...I'll tweak the recipe a bit. :cool:

JD,
I made some of that last week, atlhough not in a crock pot. Was really good! Watch those lima's though...they'll get ya! LOL

The Cajun 15 bean soup is good. Soaking the beans overnight is to"de-gass" the beans by removing the complex carbohydrates we cannot digest, however the cold water is not very effective at removing them. A better method is to bring the water to a rolling boil, put the beans in and remove from the heat, let soak for 1 hour, drain and discard the water then continue with the recipe. I learned this from listening to radio KCBS.

What? No Ham hocks?

Oh yeah.........those look fantastic!! And sprouts too!! I'm hitting that!

I figured my hit on the beans was good enough for a home run...but with your chop and brussel sprouts, I just parked it! Looks delicious John.
Thanks for the post, Gregg
