Great recipe! I used Great Northern Beans and I did add a ham hock, diced ham and fresh diced tomato (at the very end of cooking, just before serving). Other wise I followed the recipe. I don't have a crock pot so I cooked them on the cook stove. I made a tossed salad and corn bread and was a great dinner. Reminded me of my childhood when Mom made beans, fried potatoes, sliced tomato and cucumbers, plus cornbread. Hummmm was a great dinner at least once a week. She usually made some sort of dessert too... like Peach Cobbler, Pound cake with fresh fruit ect.

I added this to my personal cook book and will use it often.

I followed this exactly, except for the celery seed which I did not have. I did also add 3 teaspoons of onion powder. Thanks you for such a great recipe. I will make this again, as we have great northerns at least 1 a month and more often as the weather chills.
