Categories     Ham

Time 8h15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb dried large lima beans
3 smoked ham hocks
3 yellow onions, chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper (or more)
water, enough to cover

Steps:

  • Simmer beans in one to two quarts of water for 30 minutes, either in the crockpot on "high" heat or in another pot over the stove. The beans will have swelled and softened slightly.
  • Drain and put them into the crockpot.
  • Add remaining ingredients.
  • Cook four to eight hours on "auto-shift" or "low" heat.
  • At some point, remove the ham hocks and separate the bones and fat from the bits of meat, cutting up the meat to return to crockpot.
  • When done, this dish should resemble a stew with a thick broth. The beans should be soft, but not quite falling apart. If you cook it too long, it will be tasty but will resemble split pea soup.
  • Serve with biscuits or cornbread.

The beans were a little overcooked, but the flavor was still good.

These lima beans were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had added more salt and pepper.

I'm not usually a fan of lima beans, but this recipe changed my mind. The beans were so creamy and flavorful, and the broth was amazing. I will definitely be making this again.

I've been making lima beans for years, but this recipe is by far the best. The beans were so tender and flavorful, and the broth was rich and delicious. I will definitely be making this again!

These Southern-style lima beans were a hit with my family! The beans were cooked perfectly and the flavor was amazing. I especially loved the addition of the ham hock, which gave the beans a rich, smoky flavor.
