For a richer flavor, consider browning the ham bone in the skillet before adding it to the slow cooker. Feel free to customize the vegetables to your liking. Green beans, peas, or even a handful of chopped kale would be delicious additions. If you don't have bacon grease, olive oil or butter can be used as a substitute.
