Boiled Dinner with Ham Hocks, Grandma's image

Grandma loved this boiled dinner with ham hocks. I use ham or corned beef when I make it but I want to post the original for the cookbook I am working on. If you like old fashioned ham hocks you might like this one.

Time 2h20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 potatoes (peeled and quartered)
6 carrots (cut into 2 inch lengths)
2 onions, quartered
1 tsp garlic salt
3 lb ham hocks, corned beef, or ham
2 tsp dill seed
1/2 tsp pepper
1 qt beef broth
1 large cabbage quartered, and cut in half

Steps:

  • 1. In a 5 to 6 quart stock pot, combine potatoes, carrots, onion, and garlic. Place the meat on top of the vegetables; sprinkle with dill seed and pepper. Pour the broth over the all. Meat should be covered. Add water, if needed to raise level of liquid.
  • 2. Cover and cook on simmer for 2-2 1/2 hours. Watch level of liquid while cooking to keep all ingredients in simmering liquid. Meat should be almost done, if so add cabbage. (Otherwise cook a bit longer before adding cabbage.) Cook 30-40 minutes more until meat and cabbage are done.
