I used some leftover ham in this recipe. I thought it was tasty and easy to make. I served it over rice. A good hearty meal.

Read MoreI've been making these beans for years. I use ground chorizo instead of chorizo with the casing (I've even used soy chorizo from Trader Joe's for a vegetarian version--subsitute veggie broth for the chicken broth) and often add some bacon for additional flavor.

These beans are always a hit.
