Ingredients
-
15.5 oz. can Great Northern Beans, drained
1 1/2 pkg. Lean Sliced Ham (such as Kroger or Carl Buddig, 120- or 90-calorie packs), finely chopped
1.5 cups Baby Spinach, chopped
1 tbsp. Brummel & Brown yogurt spread (or other low-cal margarine substitute)
1 tbsp. Garlic
1 tsp. Paprika
1 tbsp. Parsley
2 tsp. Italian Seasoning
Salt, Pepper, and Other Seasonings to taste
Cooking Spray (regular or butter flavored)
1 tbsp. Parmesan Cheese, grated
Tips
Great Northern Beans were used for this recipe, as it is what I had on hand. For variations, you can use another kind of canned beans, as well as a different type of deli-thin meat, such as Buddig honey ham, pastrami, or corned beef.
Directions
1. Prepare ingredients: Drain beans. Wash and finely chop spinach, and shake off water or press dry. Chop ham into bite-sized pieces or strips. Set aside.
2. Coat large skillet with cooking spray and heat Brummel & Brown and garlic at medium heat.
3. Once the Brummel melts, add the beans in a single layer. Sprinkle with paprika, parsley, italian seasoning. Stir to coat the beans, then let them sit long enough to brown on one side, about 3 or 4 minutes, before turning to brown the other side, another 3 to 4 minutes.
4. Add the spinach, salt, pepper, and any additional seasonings to the pan, stir, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, just long enough for the leaves to go a bit limp. If necessary, add more cooking spray to be sure ingredients do not burn.
5. Dust each serving with Parmesan cheese and serve.
