Ingredients

4 Serves*

1 kg smoked ham hocks

400 g canned cannellini beans, drained

420 g can tomato soup

1/4 cup pure maple syrup

*Serving size calculator is approximate, feel free to adjust by adding a pinch here and there as needed

Method

Place all the ingredients in a slow cooker and season generously. Note, the hocks will have a thick skin; this is near impossible to remove until after being slow cooked.
Into the can of soup, add ½ cup (125mL) water, swirl to remove all the soup and pour into the cooker, stir to combine.
Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours. Remove the hocks, peel back the skin, shred the ham from the bone, discard skin and bones and return the meat to the slow cooker. Stir through before serving.

Top Tips

Delicious served with warm crusty bread and butter.

  Hi Russ,
  
  Ham hocks can be replaced with pork shank, smoked bacon, or smoked sausages.
  
  Thanks !

The best tasting baked beans ever!!! I think it is the maple syrup that just shot it into stardom for me, reminded me of my childhood, also it freezes very well, and that is important on my own, as that way you do not get sick of eating the same meal.
It will be a staple for me during Winter.
