Ham and Green Beans (video)

April 21, 2011- made this tonight, and instead of making a sugar biscuit i made carrot cake (box mix) another difference was the ham i used- picked a ham steak, and instead of canned beans i used frozen. Interesting enough.... the ham steak didn't provide the flavor!! i think you need ham on the bone, or the ham pieces... i also didn't care for the frozen beans.. canned beans or fresh beans absorb the liquid and it''s flavor explosion!! Now... the carrot cake oh man! love to have a dessert WITH dinner!!  This is a staple  food in my home, and on a rainy cold April day it hit the spot!



Salt and Sweet- a good combination if you ask me.

Very simple here is what you need:
1 package of Ham (pieces- see picture)
1 large can of green beans
1 beef bouillon cube

biscuits:

2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder
4 tbl butter
1 egg
milk

fry your ham pieces in a skillet and than put in a large pot add enough water to cover. Put you beef bouillon in cover with a lid and cook on low 6-8 hours. About 1/2 hour before you are ready to serve add your can of green beans (drained) and then bring to a simmer-

I serve in a bowl and have everyone add the salt and pepper they want!

biscuits:
hand mixer- combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, mix well AND then add your butter- MIX...
add your egg and about 3/4 cup of milk (you may need a little more) blend into a nice smooth batter.
oven at 375- in a  muffin pan (use liners for easier clean up) fill each cup about 1/2 and bake for 20 minutes-

dinner is served!

so for about $5.50 and things you probably already have in your baking supplies- you have a meal that will feed easy 5-6 people.
