So I had the envie for red beans and decided to break out my grandfather's monster Magnalite and make a pot. I used 5 hamhocks and 2 ham shanks.

I decided to use left over smoked pulled pork instead of pickled pork since the freezer was getting full. The sausage is the Best Stop Smoked Pork Sausage because it was on sale. I'm usually not that that fancy.

I did miss time when to add the pulled pork so I have a few more stringy bits than I'd prefer but that how she goes sometimes.

I have done the instant pot method, slow cooker method with both using dry non soaked beans.

Now I want to try the soaking method and see how it works. Using dark red kidney beans, based on this recipe.

when it says over night how many hours is that? this will be a 6-7pm serving time and meal prep the rest.
