In reply to Zach Bulkley. Hi Zach! It might not be that you did anything wrong. It could be that your ham/ham bone/ham hock or other ingredient variables added up to a darker or lighter color than our photos. As long as it still tastes good, that's all that matters!

So I followed the recipe exactly but the color of yours doesn’t look like the one I made. Can you help me what I did wrong? I mean that it looks so good just not the right seasonings maybe?

Excellent. I usually go plain with slow cooker beans, but was looking to add just a few ingredients. I used only ham hocks, not the additional ham. My slow cooker was on high for 6 hours and it is perfect. Thank you.

Not really blown over. Followed the recipe to the letter and was not impressed. It’s edible but not worth making again this way.

In reply to Julie Grice. I use low sodium chicken broth in place of water and it works well.

Hi, I’ve been using your slow cooker ham and bean recipe for a few years now, BUT I just got an instant pot and wanted to see how it worked. I did not soak my beans first (because I wasn’t planning ahead) and they turned out perfectly!

This is how I did it; I increased the water to 8 cups, cooked high pressure for 40 minutes, and did a FULL natural release and viola! I use this method on a pinto bean recipe that I also love and it always comes out well each time.

Thank you!

In reply to Trudy. The flavor will be a little flat, but it will still taste great!

If I don’t use a bay what is the result for the beans and ham taste? I

In reply to Me. It should have still worked! Hope it still tasted good!
