About This Beans With Ham Recipe in 20 Minutes
Yes, this speedy, easy beans with ham recipe can be made in 20 minutes or less. I typically will have it ready in about 15 minutes. It has been tested for shorter times but the results impacted the quality of both the flavors and the beans texture. Following our this as a guide, you’ll always have exceptionally flavors and quality to produce the best beans with ham recipe for everyone.
Using Northern Beans With Ham and Navy Beans With Ham
Regarding our recipes, we make them as “navy beans with ham” or “great northern beans with ham”. We’ve always ventured out over the decades with trying different brands. But we have relied on the brands of “Bush’s” and “Joan of Arc” for the beans. And, we’ve made them with dried beans (after overnight soaking) as well. With those, you’ll definitely have to add water to the ham and beans recipe.
High Heat Cooking Method – Fold vs Stir
The biggest tip is to not stir the beans so much; it’s really more of a lifting and folding action. You have to stir them some in order to keep the bottom from burning while heating things up quickly. But, if you focus on scraping the bottom to lift up the beans (instead of just stirring), you’ll retain the bean texture and it won’t be mushy.
Best Served With Cornbread
If you time things right, you can have cornbread alongside as well. But, that might take more minutes, due to waiting for the oven to preheat. Here are some of our popular cornbread recipes along with another mature ham and beans recipe.
