old-fashioned ham and beans

ย Test Kitchen Tips
If you’re using leftover glazed ham, you may want to cut back on the brown sugar. For testing, we used a smoked ham hock and a ham steak because we didn’t have leftover ham.
    • Soaking Great Northern beans.
      1

      Soak the beans overnight and drain.
    • Beans, ham, ham bone, brown sugar, onion, garlic salt, black pepper, and water in a pot.
      2

      Combine the soaked and drained beans, ham, ham bone, brown sugar, onion, garlic salt, and black pepper in a soup kettle. Pour enough water into the kettle to cover the mixture by about 2 inches.
  • Simmering the ham and beans.
    3

    Simmer for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally, or until the beans are done and the mixture has blended flavors well.
