ULTIMATE GREAT NORTHERN BEANS
I usually cook these outdoors, suspending a cast iron pot over a campfire but honestly, they taste about the same on the stovetop. And the flavor is just great. If you've yet to adopt a cooked beans recipe, this might be the one you're looking for. It's right out of Appalachia.

Steps:
- Soak the beans in cold water overnight. Make sure that there is twice as much water as beans because they will swell up.
- In a large cooking pot, pour in the cooking oil and toss in the smoked jowl pieces. Stir and allow them to sizzle over medium heat for 5 or 6 minutes. After they brown a bit, deglaze the pot with about 4 ounces of the chicken broth.
- Add the onion and allow to simmer until the onion is tender, stirring often.
- Rinse the beans in fresh water a final time and, after draining, add them, plus all the remaining ingredients into the pot. This should include the 48 ounces of water listed in the ingredients.
- Boil, covered, over low heat until beans are tender, stirring occasionally (about 2-3 hours).
- Serve with cornbread, fried potatoes, eggs and biscuits.
- If you wish, you can use chunks of ham or bacon instead of pork jowl.

CHICKEN AND NORTHERN BEANS WHITE CHILI
Chili is one of our go-to winter dishes but there comes a time, about halfway through the season, when we tire of all our favorite cold weather recipes. If you know the feeling, we suggest this recipe as an antidote! It's got all the heartiness of your standard bowl o' red but has a couple of differentiators that make it deliciously different. It's brothy base makes it taste a little lighter as does the inclusion of chicken (or turkey, if you desire). But the seasoning is what will really wake up your taste buds-in addition to the expected chili powder, this recipe includes dried basil and most surprising of all: ground cloves. Though you wouldn't expect it, the sweet and peppery flavor of cloves goes beautifully in chili. So, next time you need a winter warm-up meal, we suggest this recipe.

GREAT NORTHERN BEANS AND HAM SOUP
This is a Palate Pleaser on a cold Winter's Day or Night. The Smoked Ham Hocks make this dish, and I don't make Ham and Beans without them. Served with sliced Corn Bread it is Heaven in a Bowl. A Crowd Pleaser at our Place. I trim the rind and fat from the Ham Hock in large 2" hunks so that that those don't like it don't get it...

Steps:
- 1. I don't pre-soak my beans. You could. Place dried beans and 2 Smoked Ham Hocks in large soup pan and add water 2" to 4" above beans. You'll be adding more water as the beans absorb it. The beans will expand. Salt at end of process, Ham and Ham Hocks are naturally salty. I start in soup pot to speed cooking then transfer to crock pot. You could sub dry beans with canned beans, quicker yet.
- 2. Cook at high simmer or low boil until beans are cooked and tender, about 1 hour. Stir occasionally. When beans are cooked remove Ham Hocks and trim off lean meat and chop medium fine. There won't be much lean meat. I trim the rind and fat in large 2" pieces so that those that don't like it don't get served it in their bowl.
- 3. Add the shredded Carrots (Optional), and the chopped Onion. Add the 2 or 3 cups of Ham chopped to size of beans. Add additional water as required.
- 4. Simmer for 2 to 3 additional hours. Taste and adjust salt and pepper at end. Serve with Corn Bread (My Choice) or bread of choice. Call some friends in and enjoy.
- 5. This could be done in crock pot, reserving all but the Beans and Ham Hocks until after the beans have become tender. You may have to reduce quantity slightly, or remove and reserve some of the beans after they are cooked, and re-add later. Removal and trimming of the Ham hocks should provide room for the cubed Ham. Crock Pot 4 to 5 hours.
- 6. Note: This is a wholesome soup and will stand up to additional added water when re-heating. You will want to thin it out.

GREAT NORTHERN BEANS (PRESSURE COOKER)
I only use dry beans, canned can be expensive, $1-2/can, I can make a lot of 'canned' beans from 1 lb of dry beans. I use a 9 liter (9 1/2 quart), 12 psi (80 kPa) stove top pressure cooker, and that pressure would be on par with most electric pressure cookers. This guide is for using soaked beans. Follow your pressure cooker...

Steps:
- 1. Rinse the beans and remove and bad ones and any debris, place in a large bowl and cover with 2 inches of water. Add salt as desired and stir that in. Cover the bowl and let that sit for at least 6 hours.
- 2. After at least 6 hours, drain and rinse the beans. You can see how much the beans swelled.
- 3. Place the beans in your pressure cooker. Add 8 cups of water, 1 teaspoon of salt, and the 2 tablespoons of cooking oil, the oil keeps the beans from foaming so do not skip the oil.
- 4. Place the lid on the pot, add the weight (jiggler), and bring the heat up to high. When the jiggler starts moving and releasing pressure, start timing this for 6 minutes, and turn the heat down to low or medium low to maintain the jiggler moving and releasing pressure.
- 5. At 6 minutes, turn off the heat and move the pressure cooker to an unused burner and allow a natural release of pressure. When the pressure is released, open the lid, use beans as needed in other recipes.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it.
- Cook the milk with the bay leaves in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. When small bubbles appear along the sides, about 5 minutes later, turn off the heat and let stand.
- In the salted water, cook the pasta al dente. Drain it, rinse it quickly to stop the cooking, and put it in a large bowl.
- Trim the stems from the kale. Bring a large pot of water to boil and add kale. Boil kale for one minute, remove, and set aside to cool. Squeeze excess water from kale and chop into edible pieces.
- In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt 3 tablespoons of the butter; when it is foamy, add the flour and cook, stirring, until the mixture browns, about 5 minutes. Remove the bay leaves from the milk and add about 1/4 cup of the milk to the hot flour mixture, stirring with a wire whisk all the while. As soon as the mixture becomes smooth, add a little more milk and continue to do so until all the milk is used up and the mixture is thick and smooth. Add the cheddar and stir.
- Pour the sauce over the noodles, toss in the Parmesan and kale, mix in the white beans, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Use the remaining 1 tablespoon butter to grease a 9 x 13-inch or similar-size baking pan and turn the pasta mixture into it. Top liberally with bread crumbs and bake until bubbling and the crumbs turn brown, about 15 minutes. Serve piping hot.

I have actually found small stones in dry beans, so always look them over.Transfer the beans to the slow cooker. Add 1 1/2 quarts of water to the pot.Add the onion, carrot, celery, bay leaves, garlic, celery flakes, parsley sprigs, and the freshly ground black pepper.Cover and cook on LOW for 5 1/2 to 6 1/2 hours.
- Mine were quite soft after 6 hours, but the age of the beans, the hardness of your water, etc., can make a difference.Add salt, to taste.Serve the beans over rice, in salads, chili, in soups, or mash them to use in dips or as a spread for crostini. They are perfect for use in any recipe that calls for canned great northern beans.Freezing Cooked BeansThe beans can be frozen in freezer containers. Chill the beans and pack them in containers. In 1-pint containers, leave about 1/2-inch of headspace to allow for expansion.

GREAT NORTHERN BEANS & TOMATOES (PRESSURE COOKER)
Excellent bean dish, either as a side or main dish. There is two steps to this, first we are going to cook the beans in a pressure cooker, then we will add the tomatoes when not on pressure. I use a stove top 9 liter (9 1/2 quart) pressure cooker with 12 psi (80 kPa) pressure for these. Follow all safety precautions for your model of pressure cooker. This is a 2 for 1 recipe, beans for this dish plus bean broth for a soup or noodles another day.

Steps:
- Rinse the beans and remove any bad ones and any debris, place in a large bowl and cover with 2 inches of water. Add 2 tablespoons of salt and stir that in. Cover the bowl and let that sit for at least 6 hours. If you are going to soak these overnight, place in the fridge, this will reduce the chance of the beans fermenting.
- After 6 hours, drain and rinse the beans and add to your pressure cooker. Add 8 cups of water, bacon, and the 2 tablespoons of cooking oil, the oil keeps the beans from foaming so do not skip the oil.
- Place the lid on the pot, add the weight (jiggler), and bring the heat up to high. When the jiggler starts moving and releasing pressure, indicating full pressure, start timing this for 6 minutes, and turn the heat down to low or medium low to maintain the jiggler moving and releasing pressure.
- At 6 minutes, turn off the heat and move the pressure cooker to an unused burner and allow a natural release of pressure. When the pressure is released, open and remove the lid, you won't need the lid for the rest of the cooking. Pour the contents into a large strainer that is on top of a large pot. Now you have beans for this recipe and bean broth, 2 for 1.
- Return the beans to the pressure cooker along with 1 1/2 cups of the bean broth. Add the tomatoes, rosemary, salt, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to mix together and put low heat to simmer.
- Take the remainder of the bean broth and pour that into a jar and let it cool, then place in the fridge. Use as a base for a soup or noodles, use within 2-3 days. I got just under 1 quart of broth.
- Simmer for 15-20 minutes to cook down the tomatoes and the liquid reduced some.
- Serve as a side dish or main dish, enjoy.
