How To Make hoppin' john (slow cooker / crock pot)

  • 1
    Combine the soaked beans (soak overnight), white onion, celery, red bell peppers, garlic & ham in a large crock pot.
  • 2
    In a bowl, whisk the chicken bouillon granules and Cajun seasoning into the chicken broth. Pour into the crock pot and stir to combine the ingredients.
  • 3
    Add one bay leaf, pushing it down into the liquid until it is sumerged.
  • 4
    Lay the four strips of bacon over combined ingredients, side-by-side. It's okay if they sink.
  • 5
    Cook on high 7-8 hours (or low 4-5 hours), until the beans are tender. Discard the bay leaf and rendered bacon. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary (add salt & black pepper to taste).
  • 6
    Serve over white rice, garnished with a sprinkle of green onion.
