looks great Justin, to think I just tossed the bones with a bunch of meat the last time I double smoked 2 hams.

I was scrolling through the pics and thought "All that needs is a slab of cornbread." and BOOM! The last pic is pure perfection.

That looks sooo delicious! I love ham and beans. I have never made it. This looks simple enough even I could make it. Thank you for the recipe. It will be bookmarked.

Looks great. I really love ham and beans. Seems there was always one of the critters waiting on the ham bone, so I never got to use it. I'll be saving the next one. I like onions with my ham and beans, so I chop it up and include it.

Looks great! Hard to beat a good ham and bean soup. I’ll be doing some ham the next month or so. Couldn’t resist grabbing a couple spiral sliced hams at Kroger for $0.89 / lbs. No doubt sandwiches, ham and cabbage and eggs and ham are in my future.

I've been making hambone soup starting with pilsner beer as the broth for the bones. In hindsight, chicken broth seems like a natural.

Anyone else use beer? Has anyone compared two?

I believe I'm trying half&half next time. (beer&broth, not the dairy product!)

Note to all: never throw out a hambone.

Nice cook Justin, love me some Ham n Beans… could definitely go for a bowl of them now!

That ham and beans look excellent.

We tried ham and beans as a way to use up leftover Easter ham last year but were disappointed. My wife likes spiral cut, bone-in, Honey Baked ham for Easter and we enjoy it, but the resulting ham and beans comes out way too sweet for us. Is there a bone-in, spiral cut ham that can be bought without all the sweet stuff (assuming my wife would allow such a ham to be served on Easter)?

By the way, we do use ham hocks to make a black eyed peas and ham hocks soup for New Years. We really enjoy that and have hoped to use up Easter ham to make something similar.

...Honey Baked ham for Easter and we enjoy it, but the resulting ham and beans comes out way too sweet for us...

A little more salt or sour (vinegar? lemon?) may cut the apparent sweetness for you?

Personally I add a pretty healthy squeeze of honey to my hambone soup...even when it was a leftover Honey Baked ham...but I like the sweet. (Unless it's getting too runny, in which case I'll use brown sugar to both sweeten and thicken.)
Getting that sweetness just right is usually one of the last tweaks I do after ~18hrs of simmering.)
