Crock Pot Ham Bone And Beans

---

Many variations to ham bone (or hocks) and beans but this is pretty much how i remember it from my childhood. I find by not soaking the beans they have better texture and flavor.i use great northern beans as my favorite choice of bean for this recipe. I have used 15 bean mix with good results just omit the ham flavor packet.
