Crock Pot Ham and Beans

Submitted by: Mandi Bagley

2 ham hocks or 2 cups chopped ham
1 small onion chopped
2-3 celery stalks chopped
1 pound dry white beans
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste

Combine all ingredients in crock pot. Fill crock pot with water just until it covers ingredients. Cook on high 4-6 hours or until beans are tender.

Note: Using ham hocks will add flavor but little meat. If you want bean soup w/ham flavor, the ham hocks will do but if you want more chunks of meat, use the chopped ham.
