How to Make

  • Step 1: In a large stock pot, place ham hocks, water, garlic salt, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce and beans. Heat on medium until it just starts to boil, then immediately reduce heat to low and continue to cook uncovered.

  • Step 2: In a separate skillet, heat oil on medium-high heat. Add celery and onions, saute for 1 minute stirring constantly. Add garlic and saute 1 more minute stirring constantly.

  • Step 3: Add ham and smoked sausages and cook until sausage is brown, stirring often. Drain and add contents of skillet to stock pot.

  • Step 4: Add bay leaves, salt, and pepper and cook uncovered until beans are soft and creamy, about 4 hours. If your heat is too high, you may need to add a little water towards the end.

  • Step 5: Before serving, remove ham hocks and remove the meat from the bone, adding the meat to the pot. Remove bay leaves and add parsley. Serve over cooked rice.
