Ingredients

• 2 cups 1/2-inch cubes cooked ham (any smoked sausage is good, can also use 2/3 lb. of cooked bacon, cut/torn in pieces)
• 1 15-ounce can diced tomatoes in juice, drained
• 1 15-ounce can pork and beans, rinsed, drained
• 1 15-ounce can black beans, rinsed, drained
• 1 15-ounce can butter beans, rinsed, drained (can use frozen)
• 1 15-ounce can pinto beans, rinsed, drained
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 1 large red bell pepper, chopped (3/4 c. roasted red peppers are good here too)
• 1 large green bell pepper, chopped
• 1/2 cup (packed) dark brown sugar (NOTE: I used 1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar and might even go a little lower than that)
• 1/2 cup cola-flavored soda (can use root beer)
• 1/2 cup lemon-lime soda
• 2 teaspoons curry powder (I like 1 teaspoon garam masala and 1 teaspoon curry powder)
• 1/2 teaspoon dried savory
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (I use 2-3 garlic cloves, minced)
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
