16 oz bag dried large lima beans, rinsed
1 smoked turkey wing (or neckbones, or ham hocks, etc), optional
48 oz carton chicken broth
Water (or additional chicken broth)
1 large onion, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 tsp pepper
Hot Cooked Rice
Butter
Combine all ingredients except rice and butter in a crockpot (slow cooker). Add enough additional water or chicken broth to cover the beans by about 1 inch. Cover and cook on low 8-10 hours.
Serve over hot cooked rice with a pat of butter in the middle.
This is my all-time favorite bean dish. I've eaten it this way since I was a small child and I love it! I'm not sure if this is exactly how Mom used to cook these. I'll have to ask her, though I know she didn't use a crockpot way back then. She made them on top of the stove. These are always served as a main dish in my family.
This is one of my favorite meals! Lima beans and rice, yum!
ReplyDeleteThis has been one of my favorite meals since I was about 5 years old. I remember it being one of the first serious meals I had after my tonsils were removed and it tasted SOOOO good after eating ice cream and jello for days!
