utton ham and beans
My family liked traditional Ham and beans.... My Husband and I are a little different. So I came up with this version that is a little more flavorful and thick. It uses left over ham well, be sure to save the drippings and the fat! It makes up fairly quick, and then sits well for come and go eating. I make it in my Deep Cast Iron pan so I can heat it and the cast holds the temp for a bit. Corn bread makes a great side.

How To Make utton ham and beans
-
Step 1Slice Onion and then halve the slices so you have strips. Saute' these in the Fat from the ham till they are browned some. If you only like them clear, then that works too. ( I make this in my cast Iron Deep skillet)
-
Step 2Add the cut up ham, chopped or stripped, and cook for a bit, (about 3 minutes) or a little more if you like your ham a bit seared.
-
Step 3Add in the Crowder peas and the Black eyed peas. Stir. Add in the Ham Drippings and enough water to make it as soup or Stew like as you prefer. Too much water and you will thin out your Ham flavor. Cook till it reaches a bubbling simmer.
-
Step 4I like to let this sit at a low temp for a while to really settle the flavors, but you can eat it right away. - Last Step: Don't forget to share! Post a picture of your finished recipe here and on your favorite social network. Don't forget to tag Just A Pinch and include #justapinchrecipes!
