This year for Thanksgiving we decided to make a ham rather than turkey. And in true Thanksgiving fashion we had lots of leftovers! Along with making ham sandwiches, we decided to make ham and beans to get through all of the ham. It turned out to be pretty tasty and very easy!To make this dish you only need:
- 1 & 1/2 cup HAM, cubed
- 8 oz. DRY PINTO BEANS, make sure to look through the bag and make sure there aren't any rocks!
- WATER
- SALT
- PEPPER
- GARLIC POWDER
The only hard part of making this is remembering to soak the beans you are going to use overnight in water to soften them. I used about 8 oz. of beans. Below on the left is a picture of the beans after just going into the water. Below on the right is a picture of the beans after about 12 hours soaking. Look how much they plumped up!
Once you are ready to start cooking, bring a large pot of water to a boil and then throw the beans in! Boil the beans for about an hour to an hour and a half until they are tender.
Once the beans are tender, drain most of the water and add the ham! Continue heating the pot in order to heat the ham. Mix in the spices and then you are done! Dig in!
We also made corn muffins to have on the side!
