Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 large Ham bone with meat
  • 1 lb Navy beans quick soaked
  • 4 oz Johnsonville Andouille Sausage sliced
  • 1 large Carrot cut thick
  • 1 stalk celery cut thick
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 1/4 tsp ground thyme
  • 1/4 tsp seasoned salt
  • 1/4 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper
  • 1/8 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 tbsp Taco seasoning
  • 2 ea chicken bullion cubes

Instructions

  • Place the ham bone in a large dutch oven and cover with water (about 5 Qts.)
  • Whisk the ingredients for the taco seasoning together and add 1/2 Tbsp. to the liquid.
  • Add all other seasonings, cover and simmer till the ham separates from the bone.
  • Remove bone and ham, reserving stock.
  • Drain and rinse beans, place in empty pot, and cover with 2 inches of water.
  • Bring beans to a boil, remove from heat, cover and let stand 1 hour.
  • Drain the beans, return to pot along with the reserve stock.
  • Add chopped up ham and Andouille and simmer till beans are tender.
  • Adjust seasonings to taste.
  • Serve with croutons and celery tops for garnish.

Notes

Eliminate some of the prep by using diced packaged ham and taco mix. Add the diced ham and Andouille while simmering the beans. It won't produce as hearty a stock as using the ham bone but should be good.
