A seafood free low country boil recipe with smoked pork neck bones, corn on the cob, baby red potatoes, onions, and carrots made in the slow cooker!
Hey y’all! It is cookout, and fish fry season! Everyone and their mama will be hosting some type of get together. If you have a family like mine you can count on eating lots of barbecue ribs, potato salad, , fried fish, and low country boils. Speaking of low country boils, you may remember my seafood boil recipe that I posted last year. Once I uploaded the recipe, so many of you shared it on Facebook, and Instagram. Even a few media outlets shared it! I got a ton of questions about the recipes, and a few of you even asked me to upload a seafood free boil. Well I thought of a few different ingredients, and came up with a super easy low country boil that everyone will enjoy… A Low Country Neck Bone Boil!
This boil is delicious. This recipe includes red potatoes, corn, onions, carrots, and a ton of smoked pork neck bones( that flavor up everything in the pot!). Smoked pork neck bones are super flavorful, inexpensive, and damn right delicious! Therefore I love using them in a lot of my southern and soul food dishes.
FYI if you do not eat pork, you can substitute the pork neck bones with smoked turkey wings. It will not hurt this recipe one bit!

I will try this for my little family, just me and my fiancée so I know he would enjoy this on a Sunday. It looks so good.
Hi Amanda! Enjoy!
I look forward to cooking this low boil recipie Saturday. I’m also going out of my comfort zone with using water instead of broth. 🙂 I wil be sure to let you know how my low boil turns out.
Awesome. Keep me posted!
I know this recipe would be awesome with some seafood so how can I add shrimp and crab legs to it.
Add the crab legs during the last 20 minutes of cooking, and the shrimp during the last 5.
I will be making this today! Sounds delicious. Thank You
I have it on now…Two More hours!
@ sherylenn

I would like to add some smoked sausage. When should I add it?
During the last hour of cooking.
ok. thanks so much.
Headed to the grocery store so I can make this for Sunday dinner! Thank you Rosie!!
Hi Myra! Let me know how it comes out for ya! XOXO
Off the chain as kids say. I’ve cooked three times. Great.
LOL! Thanks William!
For this receipe can I use regular neckbones? If so what seasoning should I use? I love your receipes. You are an amazing cook. Thanks for always sharing.
You could use regular neck bones, but it would not taste the same. That would be a different recipe.
Hey Rosie! Plz don’t nobody say I’m trying to take credit; I am not! But I tried this recipe 7 yrs ago, but soaked the neckbone overnight with old Bay. I did add more to the pot also beer…(ur right smoked neckbines would’ve been better) . I must not have added enough old Bay. But it was still good to me.
God bless. Gmom Nita
I would have never thought of adding beer! I gotta try that!
Rosie,
Could I substitute the pork neck bones with smoked turkey necks? Do you think it would radically change the flavor/taste? My wife and I love your blog. Thanks
Hi Kelvin! I don’t think the taste would be that noticeable. However, You will have to cook it longer.
Hello, can I cook this recipe 8 hours on low?
Hi Ray! Absolutely 🙂
Hello Rosie, my wife and I are new to your blog, and about to try your smoked neck bone boil. Looking forward to the outcome!
Cooked on stove top till “looked done”.
Great meal. Thanks for great recipe.
Cooking this now I might add sausage or chicken
Can I add additional spices/seasoning?
You can. Just keep in mind that it will change the recipe 🙂
I am going to get the things I need and let you know how it turns out thanks
