Baked Beans With Ham

Submitted by Joelle213

"This is a recipe I got from the local paper but made some adjustments. I wanted to keep track of it, went to Ukraine this summer and wanted to bring it with as a sample of "American Food" I like the fact there are very few ingredients. My Ukrainian friends commented how "tasty" the beans were."
