Slow Cooker Butter Beans

Slow Cooker Butter Beans

Ingredients:

1 lb Ham/ham bones/sausage/tasso (meat of your choosing for flavor)

Chicken broth

Tony's

butter

Bay leaves

Poultry seasoning

1lb Large white Navy beans

crock pot liners for easy cleanup

Steps:

1. Line slow cooker and put your beans inside, then add in enough chicken broth to cover all the              beans twice.  You may need to add more as the beans soak them up.  Leave this in the fridge                overnight.  

2. The next morning, put slow cooker crock in it's base and turn to low.  Make sure beans have                enough liquid to cover them, plus another half.  Add meat.

3. Add poultry seasoning, bay leaves and a bit of tonys to taste.  

4. Cook on low for at least 6 hours, stirring every half hour or hour.  Note: At the last hour of                  cooking, use a potato masher to mash some beans.  10 or fewer presses should be enough,                    depending on how thick you want your beans.

5.  Add butter and season to taste.  Serve over rice or with cornbread.
