How to Cook Navy Beans with Ham Hocks 👨🍳🍖🍲

- Learning how to cook navy beans is easy! When simmered with a ham hock and homemade vegetable broth, these navy beans are full of flavor, especially after the addition of a secret ingredient (as inspired by a fellow CZcamsr). Along with a pan of skillet cornbread or a bowl of rice, a pot of beans is a complete meal. Although this recipe is great as is, it would also be a good base for a navy bean soup with vegetables and ham.
The first step in cooking navy beans with ham hocks is making the ham broth. I boiled the ham hock on the stove in homemade vegetable stock, softening the meat and infusing the flavor into the liquid. Once the ham hock stock was made, I then added the navy beans, along with some chopped onion and garlic. The navy beans had been soaking off to the side, but I did not drain the water: that is why it is important to not add too much water to the pot in which you boil the ham hock since adding beans may cause the pot to boil over.
I simmered the navy beans over medium heat, adding some leftover ham that I had in the refrigerator as the beans neared completion. I then also added spices, along with the secret ingredient. With a little more cooking, the beans were done.
Learning how to cook navy beans with ham hocks on the stove is not difficult, so if you want to see how I made this recipe step by step, be sure to watch the video!👨🍳🍖🍲

This is a timeless classic. Difficulty level #1. Anyone can do it. Which is why this is a military style dish. Probably 200 years old or more.
Hi, Jay!
I totally agree. I read that navy beans got their name because the US Navy fed them to soldiers. They were also planted in Australia in WWII in order to feed to US soldiers. I wrote about the history a bit in the article on my website.
Thanks for watching and commenting. Happy New Year!👍😀
Awwww Parnell!!! Comfort food!! Great thing to crockpot in the AM and grab a fork for dinner! Old school! You always give such thorough explanations! Great onion soup mix add! You know I love that! Look soooooo good!! Have a beautiful weekend my friend! 🍸💖
Hi, Jill!
Yes, a big pot of navy beans with ham hocks is definitely classic Southern comfort food.
Ms. Chris' idea about using onion soup mix was a great one--I know she loves the stuff.

Hi Parnell! I love that you used ham hock and added extra ham and onion soup mix.
Hi, Nichole! Thank you so much! Navy beans need a bit extra to be really good, imo, but these turned out great! 👨🍳🍖🍲
I’ve never made navy beans before. Yours looked really good. I love the idea of adding onion soup mix to beans. I bet that would add a lot of flavor. Great video, Parnell!

Hi, Beth!
Yes, ham hocks adds a delicious smoky flavor that goes very well with beans. This meal is also affordable, as you pointed out, so it's comfort food at its best. Let me know if you make it! 😀👍
Wow what a comforting bowl of delicious navy beans with a ham hock. I love how that smoky ham hock gives tremendous smoky flavor‘s to the beans. Great tip on soaking the beans. Loving the idea of adding the onion soup mix to this ham hock and navy beans. What a delicious recipe very comforting
Hi, Jeff!
Ham hock definitely gives beans a great, smoky flavor, so the ham made this pot of navy beans very delicious.
Although soaking beans is not necessary, I feel like it cuts down on cook time by about 30 minutes. About 2 hours vs. 1.5 hours, approximately.
The onion soup is what really made this delicious: once again thanks to Ms. Chris!
Thanks for watching as always 👨🍳🍖🍲
Hi Parnell. This is a great step by step recipe. I like the smoked ham hock Like you said ads a lot of flavour. Great tip about warmer water to faster soak. This is pour comfort food Parnell. I can imagine with the time simmering I bet the house smelled amazing. I like mine a little softer too. I will try the onion soup mix in mine as well next time. I made baked beans in instant pot yesterday and out the soup mix in and it tasted great. So I bet it taste great in this. Looks awesome Parnell!! Corn bread yes ! Rice yes!
Hi, Jerri-ellen!
Smoked ham definitely adds a lot of flavor.
My kitchen definitely smelled great as the pot of beans simmered on the stove.
The onion soup mix is what really made this great, so be sure to give that a try!
If you make this, like I said, don't forget the sides!
Thanks for watching! 👨🍳🍖🍲
There is just nothing better than homemade pot of beans. Especially with a ham hock. Makes such a rich broth. Never would have thought to add onion soup mix! And yes all you need is some cornbread. My Grandpa always crumbled his cornbread in the beans 🥰
Hi, Karen! Yes, a pot of beans is delicious, and ham hock always gives beans so much flavor.
Be sure to check out Ms. Chris--she has a lot of good cooking ideas.
Crumbling cornbread into beans is delicious: I did that off camera, haha.
Thanks for watching! 👨🍳👨🍳👨🍳
I would enjoy a bowl of this well seasoned beans.
I would have shared a bowl with you if I could have! 👨🍳🍖😀

You're welcome.good bless you.amen
@@BangJiris Thank you!
Hey Parnell - what a great recipe. This is a new one to me - I have never heard of navy beans before but they sure do look and sound good to eat. I love the use of ham hock, it's so often over looked! Thank you so much for sharing! 👍
Hi, Elliott!
Navy beans are absolutely delicious! Ham hock is definitely a secret weapon in the kitchen...along with immersion blenders, haha😂
Thanks for watching!
@@ParnellTheChef Good weapon of choice! 😂
@@BakingWithElliott haha 👍😀
Hi bro..nice upload🍁🍀👍
Thank you very much!
Hey Parnell, homemade beans are a treat indeed. We always buy Busch’s but yours looks WAY better than a can. Kindly, Theresa & Cam
Hi, Cam and Theresa!
Homemade beans are definitely a treat. Although doctoring up a can is good, like you said, there's nothing like homemade from scratch. Let me know if you give this a try 👍😀
Guess I prefer to make my broth the day before. Next day, cook the beans in the stock and add more fresh aromatics. I love beans. Use this method a lot.
You could definitely make the broth the day before as well--I do that if I'm pressed for time. I like adding aromatics to the beans as well. It sounds like we both make our navy beans in a similar way--great minds think alike 😉
When you scooped that navy beans out of the pot to the bowl, it smelled sooo good! And the slow simmering made all the difference! Perfect!
Yes, simmering the beans for a long period of time made them tender and very flavorful. Thanks for watching and commenting as always 👍😀
@@ParnellTheChef Love, love, love 😊
@@WhatsCookingAtMomsKitchen Thanks again! 😊
What is beans without the ham hock....Good video...
Exactly! I couldn't agree more.
Thanks for watching, Chef Shima 😀👍
Hey Parnell! Great to see how you make Navy beans with ham hock. We love beans and eat them quite often. But mostly black beans or garbanzo beans. But we do enjoy navy beans in soup. They are so healthy and good for the heart and great for fiber. Onion soup mix looks so good in the broth. The end result looks so good and cornbread looked like a perfect pairing. Great recipe and love you to the moon!💖🌛💖😊
Hi, Bears and Butters!
Thanks for your kind words. I used to mostly eat black beans, but now I have branched out. I mostly eat cannellini beans, but like I said, I am broadening my horizons, such as with these navy beans.
Thanks for watching and commenting 👨🍳🍖🍲
Wow. I’ve never cooked with a ham hock. Cool.
Ham hock adds a ton of great, smoky flavor, so I highly recommend it 👨🍳👨🍳
I love ham and navy beans! Our mom made it when we were kids. Yours definitely look great and I’m sure very delicious. I like Chris Cooks for you too. Her channel is awesome.
Hi, Longeno55!
Navy beans are definitely great: I am sure your mom's are awesome.
Glad to hear you know about Ms. Chris as well: she has amazing recipes, I agree!
Thanks for watching! 👨🍳🍖🍲
These days we enjoy making big batch recipes like this one to enjoy during the week. Nothing better than using ham to flavor those beans and love that you shred it like that too. Really like how comforting these look. We can eat them like that with some bread or corn bread.
Hi, Maria nd Nabol!
A big pot of beans is definitely a good way to go about meal prepping for the week.
Leftover ham from Christmas or Easter is definitely the best way to add flavor to beans, collard greens, etc. I may have to experiment with chili...
Yes, cornbread or rice is a must!
Let me know if you give this a try 👨🍳🍖🍲
all man that was very instructional and smoke ham hock the flavor that bring alone 👍👍👍👍👍
Hi, Stelly!
Thanks for watching and commenting. The smokiness of the ham hock definitely made this pot of beans delicious.
Have a great Sunday 😀👍

MmM I wouldn’t be my size if I had eaten everything you prepared!!☝🏽
Haha that is part of the reason why I left out the ham hock sin: lots of calories lol 😆😉😂
Thanks for watching and commenting 👨🍳🍖🍲
Looked delicious
Sometimes we add chopped celery and carrots.
Thank you so much! I think that adding celery and carrots would definitely make these beans even more delicious 👨🍳🍖🍲
Mmm 😋
Thanks so much for watching as always! 👍😀
This recipe looks delicious and so filling! I have never used ham hock in a recipe before.
If you have never used ham hocks, you definitely need to give them a try: they add so much flavor 👍😀

Thanks for watching, Beth!😀👍
I love putting onion soup mix in my burgers! it's rockin
Onion soup mix makes everything better, I think, haha
Thanks for watching!🧅😉👍
First 👍
Thanks! 👨🍳🍖🍲
I'm a vegetarian so I make LOTS of beans (but leave out the ham hock, of course). I used to make big pots of beans after the holidays with leftover ham bones. So good. But I loved using ham hocks too because they are budget friendly. Onion soup mix? Hmmm. Sounds good to me. I enjoyed your vid, new friend. And I like the pot you cooked these in.
Hi! Welcome to my channel
Even without any meat, vegetarian navy beans would be delicious! I make cannellini beans without any meat all the time: the secret is using homemade vegetable stock with a lot of bay leaf, haha
This pot was my grandma's. It is definitely very old. Everyone here on CZcams seems to love it! It is definitely a home cook's pot.
Thanks for watching! 👨🍳🍖🍲
Your recipe is very unique for me and absolutely delicious.YOUR PREPARATION YUMMY.

Wow , have never heard of that onion soup being added before . Look's like i've got to try that one 👍👍🇺🇸
Hi, Jimmy!
I have to thank Ms. Chris for the idea about the onion soup mix. It truly adds a ton of flavor, so definitely give it a try.
Have a great Saturday night!👨🍳🍖🍲
How many cups of beans?
Hi, Ginny!
I used a one pound bag, so I am not quite sure how many cups of dried beans it would be...but I think it's 3 cups of dried beans.
I am sure your beans will turn out delicious!👍😀
@@ParnellTheChef thank you
We don't use onion or garlic powder in beans in the south.
where's the rice?
I made the rice on the side. I had some of the beans with cornbread, some with rice. It was very delicious 😉🍚
Mmm 😋
Thanks, Valerie! 👨🍳🍖🍲
