Ham and Beans

I have been making this recipe for many years. I like that it isn't a soup, it's just warm and filling. I like to serve this with corn bread. -Sarah

1# dried Great Northern beans
1# diced ham
1/4 cup brown sugar
small onion, diced
1/4 t. cayenne pepper
1 t. salt
pepper

• Soak beans overnight.
• When ready to cook, combine all ingredients in a large pot and cover with water.
