Ham for White Beans

I will be throwing in a couple Ham Hocks in the White Beans already, but not sure what other ham should I add in? I was thinking of a big ham steak and cubing it up, doing a quick browning and throwing it in, or is there a better option?

I’ve added the bone of a spiral honey baked ham before. Delicious!

Throw in a pound of tasso too.

Will the Tasso moisten up some when it cooks down or stays pretty dry?

Smoked sausage. Always.

Becareful of the amount of ham because of the salt level. My wife makes beans and it boarderlines the salt level for me. She does not add any salt and only uses sausage and pickle meat.

I am always a fan of pickled pork and some sort of sausage in any form of bean.

Ive always just done salt pork. I boil it separately for about 30-40 minutes to take off some of the excess salt and then cut it up and add to the beans.

Absorbs some of the cooking liquid and gets fork tender. As others mentioned watch the salt.

Depending on how you cut it up, it may just fall apart. When I use tasso to flavor a pot for stuff like this, I like to slice it 1/4 thick across the grain, then cube. During the cooking it kind of flakes apart and just distributes around the pot.

I use whatever ham jumps up and shouts at me in the grocer. A ham steak is fine. Leftover ham from the freezer is always a good option. I have bought three or four slices of deli ham (1/4 inch thick) and cubed that up. Country ham (Salty cured slices) is good too. I have also used those precooked smoked porkchops. I am sure I have also cooked raw pork chops in the pot.
Never had a bad pot of beans, so I would say all of them work just fine.

White beans like pork... Any kind of pork. Throw it in there

Same here. Always good and each pot is a little different.
