Very easy-- Get out your crock pot-- dump in a small package of navy beans and 6 cups of water . Watch a movie while the beans are soaking . Add 4 more cups of water and a few smoked ham shanks . Tysons are the best . Chop up 3 shallots dump them in . I added 1/2 a white onion because it was left over from Hamburgers last night . Turn the crock pot on low . Go to bed . wake up in the morning and fish out the shank bones and shred the meat with a fork . Taste the juice --- perfect --No spice needed or recommended -- turn your crock pot to warm .. Commence eating around noon --eat and eat till it is all gone . Serve with corn bread and a big ol glass of iced tea .

I actually put carrots and celery in addition to onions in mine too. Smoked ham hocks are the key.👍

I usually add some carrots, bell pepper and sometimes a little shredded cabbage. Also cayenne pepper. Glad to see someone is civilized enough to realize smoked shanks are much better than hocks.

Not hocks; shanks. much more lean meat and better taste. Tom and I are in agreement on this part.
