Method (tap to check — screen stays awake)

  1. Stir the muffin mix with the milk, egg and 2 tbsp melted butter and bake at 400F for 18 minutes until the top springs back and a pick comes out clean.
  2. Cook the onion, carrot and celery in the oil for 6 minutes until the onion turns translucent and the pan smells sweet.
  3. Add the ham and cook 3 minutes until the edges brown and stick slightly to the pan.
  4. Pour in the broth with the bay and thyme, add two-thirds of the beans, and simmer 12 minutes.
  5. Mash the remaining beans to a paste, stir them in, and simmer 5 minutes more until the broth thickens to a light gravy.
  6. Season with salt and pepper and serve with squares of cornbread and the remaining butter.
