Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups cubed cooked ham
- 15 oz canned pinto beans
- 15 oz canned black beans
- 1.5 cups barbecue sauce
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 green onions, sliced (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the diced onion and red bell pepper. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic, smoked paprika, and ground black pepper. Cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Drain and rinse the canned pinto beans and black beans. Add both to the skillet along with the cubed cooked ham.
Pour in the barbecue sauce and stir well to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid, and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once warmed through and the flavors meld together, remove from heat.
Garnish with sliced green onions if desired, and serve warm. Optionally, pair with cornbread or a side salad.
