LULU’S BUTTER BEANS
1 lb butter beans
7-8 cups hot water
ham base
cubed ham (opt)
ham hock (opt)
Wash beans, put in crockpot. Add water and ham base. Cook on high for about 5-6 hours or could cook overnight on low.
Didn’t add salt until finished but really didn’t need much because of ham base. Turned out well. I thought liquid ratio was just right. Yum. Add ham cubes if desired about 1 hour before finish. I added the ham base according to directions on the jar. Could use a ham hock also but don’t always have one when I want the beans but I keep ham base on hand.
