Easy Ham and Beans Recipe

Ham and beans is such a simple dish, and a good comfort food.  It’s my husband’s favorite way to finish up a ham, since it uses the ham bone and pieces.  He loves to spice up the soup with his favorite hot sauce, I like it how it is.  This easy Ham and Beans recipe is a new years tradition at our house, a little superstition to ring in good luck for the new year. It must be a southern thing. 

A perfect dish to polish off that ham, this easy ham and beans recipe uses the ham bone to add tons of flavor to the soup.
