7. Season the mixture with garlic powder, onion powder, seasoning salt, bouillon, and pepper. Adjust the seasonings to your taste.
8. Continue cooking until the potatoes are fully done.
9. To serve, use a slotted spoon to transfer the beans, potatoes, and ham into a serving dish, along with a little of the broth.
