Notes: This is an easy, basic lima bean dish with ham, onion, and seasonings. Even if you aren't a fan of lima beans, I think you'll like this dish. Dried lima beans or butter beans become tender and creamy when cooked, and they're much better tasting than canned. Besides, one pound of dried beans makes as much as about three to four 15-ounce cans. So they are also much easier on the budget.
The beans are first cooked in plain water with the onion and ham until tender. Don't add the salt and seasonings until the beans are tender.
In this dish, the dried lima beans are cooked with ham, onions, and seasonings. These lima beans are delicious with cornbread or serve as part of a big family meal.
