Leftover ham gets an unusual treatment from Carol Forcum of Marion, Illinois in this creative chili blend that features three kinds of convenient canned beans. "I sometimes serve it in bowls over rice or corn bread and garnish it with cheese," she notes.

I'm not a big fan of ham and bean chili, but I tried this recipe and it was surprisingly good. The chili was flavorful and the ham and beans were tender. I would definitely make this again.

This chili was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. I probably won't be making it again.

I tried this recipe and it was a disaster. The chili was bland and the ham was tough. I would not recommend this recipe.
