Beer-braised ham and baked beans

Serve Dad these beer-infused beans combined with salty chunks of ham alongside the pulled pork tacos—he'll never be able to refuse anything you ask ever again! That is, unless you deprive him of them until next year.

Preheat your oven to 350° F. In a heavy pot with a tight-fitting lid, cook cubed ham over medium heat until well-browned. Set aside on a paper-towel-lined plate. Turn heat to medium high, and add 1 medium onion and 4 peeled and crushed garlic gloves to the pan. Cook in the ham's juices and fats until softened. Add 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon honey, and cook for about 1 minute. Add in 1 sprig of rosemary,1 pound of dried, soaked and rinsed kidney beans, 2 bottles of Belgian white beer, 1 3/4 cups chicken broth and seasonings to taste. Bring to a boil, cover with lid and bake in oven for about 2 hours until most of the liquid is absorbed and beans are tender when pierced with a fork. Add more seasoning as necessary, and combine with reserved ham cubes to serve.
