This 3 Ingredient Tender Crock Pot Ham recipe is as simple and straight forward as it gets! This delicious ham is juicy and fall off the bone tender!
When I pulled the ham out of the crock pot, the meat was falling off the bone. That is always a good sign to me. I am not a fan of dry ham. So I was curious to see if cooking it in the crock pot would make a difference. Boy did it ever! I couldn’t stop eating it.
With this recipe, you don’t need to spend a lot of money on an expensive ham. You will get the same tender juicy flavor with this recipe. I like to use the the butt portion ham. However, you can use the shank portion if you prefer. I have never tried the sprial ham with this recipe. I am not a fan of spiral hams because they tend to be really dry. So I wouldn’t recommend the spiral ham.
With love from my kitchen to yours,

What if your ham butt is 8 lbs? How long to cook?
Emily,
Cook it for 5 to 6 hours on high or 8 hours on low. Check it at that point and cook it for an hour long if necessary. I hope this helps.
