Smokey Navy Beans And A Little Kale Recipe

Susan is back with a quick and easy recipe Smokey Navy Beans And A Little Kale recipe.

I threw together these beans in about 5 minutes in the Crock Pot and ran out the door for the day.  Oh, my!  They were delicious.  I am just saying!  They were good enough for a meal. This recipe is perfect for making on a busy night since the crock pot does all the hard work. The best part is how cheap it is to make while still being filling.  

Smokey Navy Beans And A Little Kale Recipe

I always have homemade chicken broth in the freezer.  If you buy roasted chicken or if you make it yourself, don’t forget to boil the bones before you toss them.  Store it in the freezer and anytime you need some in a recipe, pull it out,  

Also, a piece of bacon never hurts the taste!  Again, just saying…..

I only had a little kale and decided to throw that in the last 30 minutes.  I loved the addition.

But the smoked ham I used…..and only about 4 ounces of it…..was really good ham.  It was not lunch meat but a ham that had been smoked over night by a local church.  So, it was quite smoky and delicious all on it’s own.  The flavor of it, along with the bacon, was awesome.
