step by step
Method
- Step 1
Prepare the beans
- Soak the dried great northern beans overnight, then drain and rinse them.
- Pick through the beans and remove any stones.
- Step 2
Load the slow cooker
- Add the beans, diced onion, salt, black pepper, garlic powder and smoked paprika to the slow cooker.
- Pour in the chicken broth, starting with the smaller amount for creamier, thicker beans.
- Add the chopped ham and stir everything together.
- Step 3
Cook the beans
- Cover with the lid and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or on high for 4 to 6 hours.
- Check the consistency near the end of cooking and add more broth if needed.
- Step 4
Thicken the broth
- About 3 hours in, scoop out a portion of the beans and mash them with a fork, or mash some against the side of the pot.
- Stir the mashed beans back in so their starches thicken the broth.
- Step 5
Finish and serve
- Cook until the liquid has thickened and the beans are creamy.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning, then serve hot.
