I got this out of a magazine, but don't remember which one. I cut the recipe in half, because if you don't it will literally make a VAT of soup. This is the full size version. You can soak the beans over nite, I think it cooks up quicker that way. This takes a good 1/2 a day to make from start to finish, but is an easy, economical bean recipe, compared to some.

How To Make creamy ham and beans

    Once the beans can be mashed with a fork, add the ham and onions, let cook at a slow boil until the beans, onions and ham are done.
