For some silly reason in the month of September I have been craving ham and beans. So tonight I got busy and started making a pot. I wasn't paying any attention to the time when I put them in the pot. I can't climb up to get my crock pot right now.
So I put the beans, ham and onions in along with some seasoning. As they kept cooking I kept adding more. I put tomatoes in and some bell peppers plus a little more seasoning.
It is tasting pretty good but something is missing. I kept looking around and it dawned on me finally that I needed some jalapeno peppers. I tore the refrigerator apart looking for them then I remembered that I gave them to my daughter in law.
I had a bowl but I will be getting some jalapeno peppers to add to it tomorrow. I made a big batch and will be freezing most of it.

@Marty1 When you cut a bell pepper, take out the seeds. The peppers must be seeded in a warm place in early spring. Take a pot with good soil, place a couple of seeds in the pot, cover with soil and keep the soil wet, not soaked. After a few days you will see two little leaves coming up, from now on you must remember to water the plant when the soil is dry. It takes a couple of months before the plant is fully grown and then the peppers will grow.

I remember my mother making that, not with all the peppers in it, but definitely the onions, ham, and beans. She didn't do anything extravagant. Dad taught her to cook, so she was an okay cook, not the greatest. My kids say I picked up my bland taste from her. I'm doing my best to spice it up and make my meals more tasty. Your ham and beans sounds good, though I have a feeling it would be too spicy for me.

Wow, we haven't had a pot of ham with beans, in a long time! This sounds so delicious, but ours will be without jalapeno peppers:) Thanks!

@kobesbuddy My oldest son can't eat spicy food like he used to. Now my youngest son and I like to see who can eat what. It is fun to do. I think that I am ahead.

@velvet53 My husband use to eat extremely spicy foods, when he lived in Texas. Now, his stomach can't handle that any more. I never could eat really hot foods, but he loved em!
