This Ham and Bean Dip was inspired by my mother's winter-weather white bean and ham suppers. She would cook up a large pot of great Northern Beans with a ham hock and serve as is or with small ham steaks and corn bread. I was craving the flavors but not the work, so I created this savory Ham and Bean Dip that is great with bell pepper sticks or corn chips. I used cannellini beans because they have a richer flavor than Great Northern. Sour cream or Greek yogurt make the texture nice and smooth.

Ingredients

  • 2 (15.5-ounce) cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 1/4 cups chopped deli ham (I used sweet ham), divided
  • 1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, plus more for garnish
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Preparation

  1. In the work bowl of a food processor combine rinsed and drained beans, 1 cup of the ham, sour cream or Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon of thyme leaves, and garlic. Pulse until well combined, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the work bowl.
  2. Spoon into serving bowls and garnish tops with remaining chopped ham and sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves. Serve with bell pepper sticks or corn chips
