Dirty Rice with Ham and Black Beans

I decided to try a little twist on one of our family favorites.  I made up a batch of Cajun Dirty Rice but instead of using sausage, I used ham.  I also added a can of black beans.

My Altered Recipe for Dirty Rice with Ham and Black Beans
1 1/2 cups uncooked long grain rice (i use instant most of the time)
1/2 pound ham, cooked
1/2 cup yellow onions, diced
1/2 cup green bell pepper, diced
1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon cayenne powder (you can add more, but this is the right amount of spice for my family)
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup olive oil

Cook rice according to package directions. In a large skillet, saute onions, peppers, and garlic.  Add ham and heat through.  Place rice and the remaining ingredients in a large skillet and simmer until the liquid is fully absorbed and the rice is hot and fluffy.
