Ham and Beans

SUBMITTED BY: STEPHNDON  PHOTO BY: Diane Marie 

"My Mom created this recipe and I really enjoyed it as a child. As an adult, my taste changed just a bit so I modified her recipe to 'kick it up' a bit. It is fabulous even though the ingredients list is quite short! This is a must make with leftover ham and everyone agrees it's absolutely delicious."
