Check the dried beans for small rocks or debris. If desired, soak your beans (read about soaking below). Place drained and rinsed beans in your slow cooker or a pot on the stove with enough water or broth to cover the beans by 2 inches. Add one teaspoon salt for each pound of beans.
I soaked the beans in the green crockpot overnight (about 10 hours.) Beans in the brown crockpot were not pre-soaked. Beans in both crockpots were covered with enough water to cover by about 2 inches. I didn’t add salt to the beans. (For the pre-soaked beans, drain out the original soaking water and use fresh water to cook the beans.)
Here are the step-by-step instructions for making crockpot green beans: Spray slow cooker with nonstick spray. In a 4 to 6 quart crockpot, add onion, green beans, ham, chicken broth, seasoned salt and pepper. Cover and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours until vegetables are tender. Remove ham hock after cooking.
Size of pot: If cooking one pound of beans (or less) without added ingredients, a small slow cooker (4-quart) can be used. If you are cooking one pound (or more) with additional ingredients, then a large crockpot will be needed. We typically cook one pound of beans in 5-7 quart pots.
