These beans were fantastic!! I used 1/4 cup brown sugar, added 3 cloves of garlic, 2 bay leaves, a 1/3 stick of kombu (sea vegetable, adds delicious flavor and softens beans take out with the bay leaves before eating) and used a pound of pit ham. Also added the onion while cooking. Served with spoon bread. Magnifico for a cold winter night!! Thanks for sharing.

I don't know if I did something wrong or not, but WAY too sweet for us. I did not like the brown sugar and neither did my husband. When he saw me add it in he looked at me, but becuase most 4-5 star recipes are good he went along with it. Unfortunately we ended up throwing out our leftovers because we just couldn't take the sweetness.

These turned out awsome! I did cut the brown sugar in half and added some butter. I forgot to soak my beans over night so I cooked it on the stove. My family loved it, Thanks!

Good filling recipe. Cooked in crockpot and it came out great. Easy and inexpensive dish to make. Even the kids liked it.

I give this a FULL 5 stars and here's why: I'm not much of a cook but made this last nite (EZ) and my girlfriend who once when younger had to live on ham and bean soup for a couple of months straight said it was the very best she ever had. My modifications were: went a little higher on brown sugar and the ham was a Brand Name Honey Ham leftover that was approx twice the amount called for. Keep the cayenne pepper at the reccommended amounts!

Followed recipe. Extremely bland. Zero flavour. The consistency was nice in that the beans didn't break apart, otherwise I'd rate this recipe a one star.

Great and easy in crock pot. First time for me to make ham and beans and the brown sugar & cayenne caught my eye. Will make again!

I used a little more cayenne, and some Italian Seasoning. Put everything together in the crock pot this morning, and tonight it's great! Thanks very much, Stephanie, for a great idea on a winter night! :)

My husband is a ham & bean afficionado and he really liked this recipe. I thought it was just a little too sweet for my taste and I might cut back just a little on the brown sugar next time to keep us both happy. But, I do think that adding that hint of sweetness is what makes the recipe really stand out from all the others.

Similar to the ham and beans my mother in law used to make when my husband was a kid. He loved them! Thanks

It was perfect! I think adding the whole 1/4 cup of brown sugar is completely just the right amount. Also used 1 tbsp of cayenne to give it more of a kick. Used a crock pot on low for about 8 hours - will be used many times! Thanks!

I made this for my husband and myself. My husband couldn't eat it at all. I was able to eat it but didn't find it to be as good as I have had before. I think it might have been the brown sugar and I only put in 1/4 cup. Next time I won't put in any brown sugar.

This was really good, I didn't have any cayenne, so I used cajun seasoning. And my beans weren't quite as "soft" as I like them to be. Will make again, maybe let it sit in the crockpot all day next time.

Delicious, but with some adjustments. Instead of the beans I used 2 cans navy beans undrained and 2 cans black eyed peas undrained. Instead of the cayenne pepper I used one whole cayenne with the seeds included. I just chopped it up with the onion in the food processor. Used a ham bone from a spiral ham and added enough water to cover all. Let it simmer til the ham fell off the bone. We loved it!

This was my first time to make beans that weren't out of a can. Due to health concerns and other reviews, I left out the brown sugar. I don't know if it was because of that, but it was just tasteless. After cooking the ham so long, it lost its flavor completely. I think next time, I will try to add kielbasa or smoked sausage the last half hour of cook time. This site also recommends that you add the salt and pepper after the beans are done cooking, otherwise the flavor will be boiled away. They were right!

Very good recipe. I also cooked it in the slow cooker using some chicken broth as well as a good old ham hock. I cut the brown sugar down a bit as well, but even at half the amount it added a great flavor. I will for sure be using this one again!

After 8 hours of soaking and 2 hours of simmering, the beans were still not quite done to my liking. That said, my husband nearly ate the entire pot, agreeing the entire time that the beans were not quite done. But great flavor, he kept saying. And it was. Thanks for the recipe - I'll make this again for sure!
