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!
Check out my video tutorial for this low country neck bone boil!

William Griggs says

Rosie says
LOL! Thanks William!
Mekia says
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.
Rosie says
You could use regular neck bones, but it would not taste the same. That would be a different recipe.
Anita says
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
Rosie says
I would have never thought of adding beer! I gotta try that!
Kelvin says
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
Rosie says
Hi Kelvin! I don’t think the taste would be that noticeable. However, You will have to cook it longer.
Ray says
Hello, can I cook this recipe 8 hours on low?
Rosie says
Hi Ray! Absolutely 🙂
Idris Rahman says
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!
David Griggs says
Cooked on stove top till “looked done”.
Great meal. Thanks for great recipe.
Annette says
Cooking this now I might add sausage or chicken
Vincent says
Can I add additional spices/seasoning?
Rosie says
You can. Just keep in mind that it will change the recipe 🙂
Theresa says

thomasina singleton says
hey rosie,
i have follow many receipes and enjoyed them. i just wanted to say thanks it was easy and clean up was fast. love the slow cooker receipes do you have any more coming up. i would to try another.
Tracye Williams says
I made this for dinner today, (9-21-2020), and it was absolutely DELICIOUS! I followed the ingredients exactly, but the only change I made was that I let it stay in the crock pot for 7 hours on high. At 4 hours, the meat wasn’t quite as “falling off the bone” tender as we like it. This recipe is a “must try”.
Zakiyyah Carter says
Sooo good! Made it for dinner. Can’t wait for you to share more recipes! I’ve tried all your recipes and can I say excellent! Thanks rosie!
Kelsey says
Can’t wait to try this
Jo says
made this for quite a while try to use fresh corn when in season and instead of water I use beef or chicken broth depending on what is in the freezer or canning jars
Bonita says
Hi Rosie can I use Beefneck bones?
Rosie says
HI Bonita! Absolutely. XOXO
Valerie says
Love this recipe can’t wait to try it never thought of putting potatoes & corn on the cob can I use fresh neck bones I don’t have smoke.
Rosie says
Hi Valerie! If you use regular neck bones be sure to use Seasoning Salt for flavor.
Rosa Collins says
Sounds delicious
AUNT DEE says
TODAY I WILL BE COOKING THE LOW COUNTRY NECK BONES CAUSE IT LOOKS SO GOOD. I OWN MY BUSINESS. AUNT DEE’S DESSERTS AND CATERING. BALTIMORE BEST BANANA PUDDING
DARLYNN YVONNE says
WELL I GOT SO CARRIED AWAY THAT I ADDED MY OWN LITTLE TOUCH TO IT. I ADDED ALL OF THE VEGGIES IN THE RECIPE LIKE THE CORN, POTATOES,ONIONS, & CARROTS. BUT I ADDED A LITTLE KALE ON TOP! I LOVE ALL VEGGIES . THEY ALL COOKING NOW
Gwen says
I love your recipes
Kathleen says
Excellent, but I prefer to hold off on the veggies (excepting onion) for a couple hours and like to add cabbage, parsnips, green beans, rutabaga, sweet potatoes, etc. per what I have on hand. Of course, adding cold vegetables will slow cooking time, but they hold more original flavor and shape. Hearty, filling and so tasty!
Violet Smith says
Hi Rosie can I cook this in an instant pot
Rosie says
You sure can!
Beatrice says
