Any good White Beans recipes?

The above recipe is pretty much what I do when I cook them.

I use sausage and diced ham. I make homemade hams usually once a year and I vaccuum pack and freeze leftover chunks or miscuts for diced ham to use in white beans.

If you want something different... I love white beans with shrimp. Cook white beans with ham and/or sausage. Sautee shrimp in a separate pan and add the cooked shrimp to the white beans at the end of the cook.

What they said except sub chicken stock for water.

Dry pack of Great Northerners
(1) Chopped onion
(1) Chopped bell pepper
(2) Chopped celery
4-5 cloves of minced garlic
Couple bay leaves
Ham Hock (or pork of your choice)
Salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, some Tony's


Put it all in a crock pot with about 6-8 cups of water, put on low, usually about 6-8 hours it'll be right. serve over rice

And something particular with our family, out some Pico on the side with dat, grandma always did that now I can't eat without.

That right there kills it and any whitebeans recipe that doesn't include fresh rosemary is a bad recipe.

Sorry.

How many people will this recipe feed, and are you referring to the 1 lb bag of great northerns?

Agreed, also just know these beans freeze really well if you cook too much. So down the road, you’ll have some quick night meals.

I’m making it as a side to go with jambalaya and probably bringing potato salad too. So should I do this recipe or double it? Going to be between 20-30 guys. It’s a diaper party thing they’re throwing for me for our first kid

Well, between the beans, white rice to go with them, jambalaya and potato salad, you have the "starch" part of the menu well taken care of.

You oughta tell one of them cats to fry some pork chops or some fish, then shits getting freaky.

Can you cook them for too long?

Personally I think you can. Nothing worse than white beans that are a gummy paste sitting on top of the rice because it's too damn thick to run through. But you're using a crockpot so I don't know. Never went that route.

My Mamaw taught me her recipe years ago.

Saute onions and smoked hock in bacon grease. Add app 6 cups water and beans. Bring it to a boil then lower fire to a simmer. Add chunked salt meat and let it cook for a couple hours. Add a little water as needed.

Taste for seasoning when they're getting close. Add salt and black pepper to your taste. Smash a few beans against the side to cream them. I turn them off when they're slightly on the thinner side because they will thicken just sitting there. Fresh cut parsley to finish.
