MOM'S MOLASSES HAM AND BEANS



Mom's Molasses Ham and Beans image

This is a recipe my mom made frequently while I was growing up, but I tweaked it to include navy beans instead of lima beans. It's perfect for a cold day when you don't want to bother with lots of cooking. -Nancy Heishman, Las Vegas, Nevada

HAM AND BEANS

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.

MOM'S HAM & BEANS



Mom's Ham & Beans image

Mom would cook this all day and the aroma was so wonderful when we came into the house after work. She also had home made bread, hot out of the bread machine. Of course the bread would make any house smell good, but the experience of a hot meal after working out in the cold weather all day would make any one leap for JOY.
