Photo: Baked Beans with Ham Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons canola oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 12-ounces smoked Virginia ham, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Two 15-ounce cans navy beans (preferably low-sodium), drained and rinsed
- One 15-ounce can crushed tomatoes (preferably low-sodium)
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup unsulfured molasses
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the ham and garlic and cook for an additional 3 minutes. Stir in the beans, crushed tomatoes, water, molasses, mustard, vinegar, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook until about half of the liquid is absorbed, 15 minutes.

Best baked beans recipe ever! The beans are sweet, but not too sweet. Swapping out lean ham for bacon was a great choice. Thanks Ellie! I don't even miss the added fat and calories. Perfectly seasoned as well without being too spicy. This will definitely become one of my family's summertime staples.

PERFECT recipe for healthy baked beans, Ellie! Thank you!!! I like serving baked beans with ribs and corn, but always hated serving those over processed, super salty canned baked beans. NOW, I have a tastier and more wholesome version that I can serve my family and not feel bad about eating, especially after getting off the treadmill : Thanks again, Ellie!
