    I’d love to try this recipe but where do you get the neck bones. Meat department of the supermarket? The reason I’m asking is because I’ve never seen them before. Thank you

        Thanks for posting. Came across these at a volume butcher shop, no idea what these were so here I am using your recipe and it’s very yummy 🙂 . They were under the soulfood section at the shop…along with some other things I can’t wait to try! Not sure why they’re just kept there but maybe because one’s soul loves them once they try them 😉 Thanks again!

      You can also find them. Wayfield grocery stores, Farmers Markets, Butcher Shops in a So call Black Neighborhood. I use Beef Neckbones and Medium- Large Turkey Neckbones. Green beans, lima beans. Or Pinto beans are good in the Neckbone recipe.

      OMG!!! Where is the cookbook? I honestly need your book in my life. My husband is from Springhill, La and loves good southern food. I have cooked neck bones on several occasions. Well I came across your recipe and made the dish yesterday for memorial day. My husband ate two big plates of neck bones. Here’s the kicker he told me this was the best neck bones I had ever cooked. I’m so grateful to you and can’t wait to try more of your dishes. I truly don’t like to cook but now I’m looking forward to cooking more dishes in my slow cooker. This allows me leave our home and take care of business and know a great meal is cooking.

      Thanks for bringing life into my kitchen.

      Neck bones are sometimes found in the section where they keep seasoning meat such as pig tails, hog joules, salt pork that kind of stuff. Smoked and non smoked are usually together and once you see them you will definitely see a difference. Some are with reg meats. We have them as a pick 5 where you get 5 packs for $20. Good luck to you

    My family and I love neckbones we eat them at least twice a month. Today is Mother’s Day we had our normal cookout but I decided to make this dish it was a hit. The meat nice and tender and the potatoes were not mushy at all. Thank you for all your great recipes I also made the Soul food Mac and Cheese, Southern Devil eggs and Sweet Tea..

I personally don’t eat neckbones but my husband do he is from New York and I’m from GA and he loves my southern cooking, so when he requested neckbones and I didn’t have the first clue as to cooking them I had to come to the Internet lol. I paired them with red beans and rice, green beans, and cornbread. He loved it

    I made tonight mostly as written. Used short ribs instead of neck bones. Beef broth for the vegetable broth and a tad of worchesterchire sauce. All ingredients wouldn’t fit in my crockpot so I used the stove and a heavy pot. The Husband loved it and said “this is a keeper don’t change a thing”. Thanks, Rosie!

    Hi Rosie…
    I have never had neck bones before or thought about cooking them. Came across your site while in the grocery store and decided to give it a try. I followed your instructions and let me tell you…the BOMB!! Delicious!! I also decided to make white rice and green beans along with some cornbread. My husband text me and said dinner was absolutely wonderful. I recently got married. I haven’t been cooking much because I am so busy. Often, I find myself cooking the same ole stuff and I only feel excited about cooking on the holidays. It’s nice to find a site with such variety and recipes that are not too difficult to make. Your recipes are realistic for the average everyday working woman who doesn’t have time to slave in the kitchen but wants to cook a great meal. Im excited to try all of your recipes. I shared this site with my daughter too! You have a new fan! Thanks so much!!

    Rosie this is the first recipe of yours that I tried and I promise you have a fan for life. My whole family is originally from MS so I’m used to southern cooking. Being that my mother lives moved out of state I have to learn how to cook these foods for myself and my family now. My little family loved this recipe. I got too much meat and had to use 2 slow cookers. Not a prob though it was still gone within 2 days. My mother did give me extra advise on cleaning the neck bones. She had me rinse them then boil them for about 5 minutes. A lot of froth floated to the top. I then rinsed again and seasoned!

    Thank you Rosie. I’m looking forward to cooking more of your recipes.

    I have been making pork neck bones for years. Since I am Italian we were always taught to partially cook them, and then cook them in a wine based red sauce for about 6 hours. Your receipe was absolutely delicious, the spices and brown really enhance the flavor. I cannot wait to try your other recipes.

    I’m so glad I chose this recipe as a base for my first time cooking neck bones. I halved the recipe, put a half the onion on the bottom, then the bones, then the other half of the onion, gravy mix, half a head of cabbage cut into wedges, and a large cubed potato. I also added some sage, thyme and celery seed before adding the water. I cooked this in my rice cooker: one hour on warm, 30 minutes on steam, and another hour and a half on warm. The cabbage added a lot of moisture so at this point I removed the cabbage and potatoes and cooked the meat and gravy with the lid open on steam for another 30 minutes to thicken it up and it was fabulous in four hours. Served with a raw salad and buttermilk biscuits. Cheap and easy and delicious, and the bones weren’t nearly the hassle I was afraid they’d be, the meat did indeed fall right off. Thanks.

    I am going to try this recipe tomorrow with the boneless neck bones I got from the store yesterday. I usually cook them in red pepper vinegar but these look really good. They will go perfectly with the turnips and greens I prepped today that are waiting in the fridge to be cooked. Your bone in neckbones look so meaty! The bone in ones I usually find don’t have much meat at all. Thanks for posting! 🙂

    Hello! I made some pork neck bones into Gamjatang a few weeks ago and loved it but turned out to be slightly allergic to one of the ingredients. So now I’m cooking the rest of the neck bones using your recipe with a few hints of the gamjatang recipe, ie I’m adding fresh garlic, ginger, peppercorns and red pepper flakes.. I was wondering how much more stock might u add to make this into a soup. I just filled up my slow cooker and turned it on, can’t wait to try this!

    Was a little sceptical as the recipe seemed so simple, but… it had a high rating so thought I’d risk it! I live in NZ, couldn’t find neck bones so used general ‘pork bones’ from the super market (seemed to be mainly rib). No pre-browning, easy prep, few ingredients and very economical but WOW!!!! So friggin yummy and so damn easy!!!! Highly recommend, making it again tonight, thanks for a great easy satisfying recipe!

While I haven’t had them with potatoes, I’m looking forward to making them. I really don’t like making comments BEFORE making something, but YOU made me SMILE so hard that my face hurts! Not sure when I’ll make them but I DID save it for when I want to. THANK YOU!

    Holy cow. I bought neck bones on a whim and found this recipe. SO good! I never would have guessed neck bones would be in our regular rotation, but they are going to be. So good and easy. The bones were partially frozen so I put them on high for about four hours, then turned to low. They were probably on low for six hours because it was a busy work day. They came out perfect. Thank you!
