In reply to Ken. Ken, Yes, you can use canned beans. I would recommend that you rinse and drain them because they're canned with a good bit of salt. Also, the cooking time will need an adjustment since the canned beans are ready to eat.

If you don’t have dried beans or the time to soak them, could you use canned?

Could you do this with canned beans if you don’t have the time to soak dried beans?

Plus, the dog gets an all day bone to “naw on”

In reply to Darlene. If I don't have a ham bone, ham hocks are always my next choice.

In reply to Jackie Garvin. I think ham hocks would make a great substitute. Maybe I will try it this weekend. :)

In reply to Valerie Monschien Laux. Season with a different kind of meat. I liked smoked meats because it adds more flavor. Bacon is a good substitute.

In reply to Tutie. Tutie, I've certainly eaten my share of dried beans. Still eating them and I hope I do till the day I die.

Here in the South we have that quite often. Dry beans are a staple here, except we don’t eat it like soup. We do mash them a bit until it makes a creamy gravy consistency and serve it over rice. We love white beans & rice or our red beans & rice. It’s part of our Cajun diet on the Bayou.

Oh, good! I’m so happy you’re enjoying it. Is “Miss Priss the Picky Eater” eating it too? 🙂

I just finished up the last bowl of my batch tonight.

Sandra,

I hope your dried beans and ham bones don’t kick up too much of a fuss before you get a chance to cook them! 🙂

“Ham bones and dried beans cry out for each other in the night.” That just cracks me up. This will be slow cooking in my kitchen very very soon. Can’t wait!
