Italian Beans and Greens

4 cans Northern white beans
1½-2 cans chopped collard greens, drained
2 cans chopped tomatoes with juice
1/4 cup chopped garlic
1 medium onion, chopped in large pieces
2 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoon ham base (if you cannot get a good ham base, cook a couple of ham hocks in water and add a cup of the resulting ham stock to the beans)
Salt and pepper to taste

 Combine all ingredients and bake in a covered casserole dish at 350º F for 1½ hours. Add more ham stock to the desired consistency. Make sure the cans are all the same size in measurement.
