This slow cooker white bean stew is a robust, high-protein dish that delivers a deep, smoky depth of flavour. By using dried Great Northern beans and a combination of salty ham hock and spicy tasso or andouille sausage, the recipe creates a rich and satisfying broth. It is a brilliant example of batch-cooking at its best, requiring very little hands-on preparation while providing a nutritious, filling meal that is perfect for colder evenings.

As a savoury, low-fat source of protein, this homemade bean dish fits perfectly into a healthy, balanced diet. The slow-cooking process allows the vegetables and aromatics to soften completely, melting into the beans to create a thick, creamy consistency. Serve this comforting meal in deep bowls with a slice of crusty bread or a side of steamed greens for a complete and wholesome dinner.
