Ingredients:

• 1 pound navy or great northern beans, sorted, soaked overnight (or according to directions on bag)
• 1 large onion, diced
• 3 ribs celery, diced
• 1 medium carrot, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 large smoked ham hock or ham bone
• Water
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 cup chopped ham
• Sliced green onions for topping (optional)

In the basin of a slow cooker, combine the beans, onion, celery, carrot, garlic, bay and ham hock or bone.
Fill with water until just barely covering the beans.
Cook on high for 6-7 hours, or low for 8-9 hours until beans are soft and beginning to fall apart.
30 minutes before end of cooking time, remove the ham hock or bone, strip off any meat, chop and return to the slow cooker. Stir in Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and remaining chopped ham.
