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)
Directions
Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Step 2
Once the oil is hot, add the diced onion and red bell pepper. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened.
Step 3
Stir in the minced garlic, smoked paprika, and ground black pepper. Cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Step 4
Drain and rinse the canned pinto beans and black beans. Add both to the skillet along with the cubed cooked ham.
Step 5
Pour in the barbecue sauce and stir well to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid, and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 7
Once warmed through and the flavors meld together, remove from heat.
Step 8
Garnish with sliced green onions if desired, and serve warm. Optionally, pair with cornbread or a side salad.
