A delightful and hearty bean dish with a touch of sweetness and spice.
Dice the onion and bell peppers into small pieces.
Use a sharp knife to make dicing easier and safer.
Combine all the ingredients in a large pot.
Layer the ingredients to ensure even mixing.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
Keep an eye on the pot to prevent sticking.
Reduce the heat to medium and simmer uncovered, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens.
Stir gently to avoid breaking the beans.
Season with salt and pepper to taste before serving.
Taste the dish before adding salt, as the ham may already be salty.
