My granddaddy use to work on the railroad and he was the cook back in the 40's and 50's. This Lima Bean recipe is his favorite and OURS too...the most important ingredient is LOVE... Ingredients:
1 (12 ounce) bag lima beans |
2 smoked ham hocks |
1/2 cup diced onion |
1/2 cup diced bell pepper |
lawry's seasoned salt |
pepper |
1/2-1 teaspoon sugar |
1 tablespoon butter |
water |
Directions:
1. Pour the Lima beans into a pot of your choice. Rinse and get all the broken and bad pieces out, drain then add ham hocks and enough water to cover the beans and the meat. Set the stove top setting on medium high. Let beans come to a boil and then add the seasonings, and the onions and bell pepper. Continue to let boil for another 5-8 minutes then bring the setting down to medium heat.
