Submitted by Chef #1122431

"Modified from Southern Living. This is a great way to use leftover holiday ham. Use 2 cup or 1 (16-0z.) lean ham steak. Don't forget to toss in the bone for added flavor."

Needed a little something more, so I added some heavy whipping cream, grated parmesan, and seasoning salt. YUM! Oh, and I subbed chick peas for the navy beans.
