So I made some bean soup w some bones and meat I had left over from a double smoked ham. The only beans that were available had this lil nugget of heart attack wrapped in cancer included. Powdered ham flavor which I'll assume also has a ridiculous amount of sodium and fake flavoring.

I didn't use it but was wondering if there's anything else I might be able to use it for before I throw it out.

Who's got some ideas?
 
I always throw what's in the spice packet that came with the dried beans in with the rest of my spices when I make soup beans. Sometimes it's ham like you have, sometimes Cajun
 
Read the ingredients and decide from there.
Personally, I don't use any seasoning pack that comes in a package and I rarely even purchase those pre-packs.

The spice pack in question comes packaged with the dried beans. It's in pretty much all of the mixed bean packs. You can get straight pintos or the like without the seasoning pack though.

Thanks Doug
I knew that. I don't purchase any bean kits or rarely any meal kits. I have sacks and cans of various beans to make up my own menu.
The included seasoning packs are in the word of original poster "lil nugget of heart attack wrapped in cancer included. Powdered ham flavor which I'll assume also has a ridiculous amount of sodium and fake flavoring."

Don't know that I'd really call them bean kits. Just a bag of dried beans with a flavor pack you can use, or not. I only eat one meal a day, so don't get overly jammed up about sodium in what I eat.
 
Sprinkle it on your toast in the morning .

The bean selection at my store was seriously lacking that day. The bag with the seasoning was cheaper and the beans were bigger, so I went with that. Not usually my first choice though.

My wife prefers the HamBeens 15 bean soup mix, so that's what I use. I prefer straight pintos for soup beans, but it's a compromise I can live with lol.

I use Clifty Farm country ham seasoning pieces for the meat in my beans. You do have to trim some fat off them, but they make for a great pot of beans. Also don't add any salt ..... country ham is plenty salty already.
