SLOW COOKER SOUTHERN LIMA BEANS AND HAM

Slow Cooker Southern Lima Beans and Ham image

I searched your website for the simple lima bean recipe that my mom used to make and the one that is served by many restaurants here in the south as a side dish. I couldn't find one, so I submitted my own. This is an easy, basic lima bean dish with ham, onion, and seasonings. Served over Mexican cornbread, it makes a delicious hearty meal. You can also do this on the stovetop. Just follow the directions on the back of the lima bean bag and add the seasonings. Slow cooker time is about 7 hours. Add a side salad for a complete meal.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit. The beans are creamy and flavorful, and the ham adds a nice smoky flavor. I also like that it's a slow cooker recipe, so I can just throw everything in and let it cook all day.

These beans were a hit with my family! I used canned ham and it was still very flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.
