Slow Cooker Ham Hocks and Dumplings

September 28, 2015

This Ham Hocks and Dumplings recipe reminds me of southern cooking. The ham hock flavors the broth with its smokiness, and the dumplings were light and airy. I used Bisquick for my dumplings, I do know how to make homemade dumplings, but I wanted a semi homemade fix for this. I suppose you could use canned biscuits for the dumplings, but for me I enjoy Bisquick dumplings more, they taste more homemade. - See more at: http://www.themagicalslowcooker.com/2015/09/28/ham-hocks-and-dumplings/#sthash.
