Ham And Bean Skillet Recipes

Steps:

• Rinse beans in a large pot; discard shriveled beans and any small stones. Add 8 cups of cold water. Let stand overnight or at least 8 hours. Drain and rinse beans.
• Return beans to pot and add ham, onion, brown sugar, salt, pepper, cayenne and parsley and water to cover. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer 1 1/2 to 2 hours, until beans are tender. Add more water if necessary during cooking time.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the leeks, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring, until the leeks are tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the ham and cook until warmed through, about 2 minutes. Add the flour and cook, stirring, until moistened, 1 minute. Add the half-and-half and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in 1 cup fontina until melted.
• Meanwhile, preheat the broiler and bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs for al dente, adding the peas in the last 2 minutes of cooking. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking water, then drain the pasta and peas.
• Add the pasta and peas to the skillet and toss to coat, adding the reserved cooking water as needed to loosen; season with salt and pepper. Top with the remaining 1 cup fontina and the parmesan. Broil until lightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Brown meat in a large skillet.
• Drain.
• Add taco seasoning, water, corn, beans and chiles to the skillet. Season to taste with salt.
• Bring to a boil.
• Stir in rice.
• Sprinkle with cheese.
• Cover and cook on low heat 5 minutes.
• Serve with crushed tortilla chips, sour cream and salsa, if desired.

Steps:

• Place the beans into a large container and cover with several inches of cool water; let stand 8 hours to overnight. Drain and rinse before using.
• Combine the soaked beans, 4 cups of water, celery, onion, bay leaves, cumin, garlic powder, and parsley into a slow cooker.
• Melt the butter with the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir the leeks in the butter mixture until tender and the smaller pieces start to brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the leeks to the slow cooker. In the same pan, cook and stir the ham until the edges start to brown; stir into the soup. Place the bacon into the hot skillet, and pan-fry until the bacon is crisp, about 10 minutes. Cut the bacon into bite-size pieces and stir into the soup. Pour the chicken stock into the hot skillet, and stir to dissolve any brown flavor bits from the skillet; pour the chicken stock into the soup. Season with sea salt and pepper.
• Set the cooker to Low cook the soup until the beans are very tender, 6 to 8 hours. Roughly mash about half the beans with a potato masher to thicken the soup.

Steps:

• Dice potatoes into small pieces. I use thin skinned potatoes and don't bother to peel, but if you prefer, peeled potatoes work well too. (The potatoes can be cooked in advance, or, of you want a really speedy meal, you could use the pre-cut pre-cooked diced potatoes from the produce section).
• Boil potatoes in lightly salted water until soft, about 25 minutes. Drain.
• Fry ham in heavy skillet over medium heat for about 3 minutes, flip and cook for a few more minutes, until there's a nice bit of juice in the pan. Add brown sugar to the pan, and turn ham to coat. simmer for about 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until ham is heated through.
• Add potatoes to pan (you don't have to remove the ham, just lift it with a fork and put the potatoes underneath). Stir to coat evenly.
• Serve.

Steps:

• Heat oil in large deep skillet over medium heat until hot.
• Add onion and garlic, cook 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add both cans of beans, bell pepper, brown sugar, catsup, vinegar and mustard; mix well.
• Trim fat from ham, cut into 1/2 inch pieces.
• Add ham to bean mixture; simmer over medium heat 5 minutes or until sauce thickens and mixture is heated through; stirrin occasionally.

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium heat, saute onions in the margarine. When tender add cabbage and stir. Pour water over, cover and simmer gently on medium low for ten minutes.
• Add potatoes and mix. Cover again and allow to simmer for ten more minutes. Additional water may be needed. Sprinkle seasoning salt and paprika over cabbage and potatoes. Allow to simmer covered for an additional 5 to 10 minutes until cabbage is soft and potatoes are nearly cooked. Mix ham in and finish cooking until ham is hot and potatoes are done.

Steps:

• Spray a large skillet with pam.
• In the skillet cook ham, celery, and onion till vegetables are tender.
• Stir in potatoes, fresh green beans if using them, water, thyme and pepper.
• Bring to boiling; reduce heat.
• Cover and simmer for 20 minutes or till potatoes are tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
• If using frozen green beans, add to ham and potato mixture the last 7 minutes of cooking.
• To serve, sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
