Southern Lima Beans With Ham

"This classic Southern Lima Bean recipe is a delicious side dish or budget-friendly entrée. The rich, smoky butter beans are flavored with a ham hock and slowly simmered until tender. Serve a bowl of creamy lima beans with a side of sweet honey cornbread for the ultimate comfort food supper! In some households, lima beans might get a bad rap as bland, mushy or otherwise unappetizing -- but that's not the case here! These dried large lima beans are seasoned with garlic, celery and onions, are simmered alongside a ham hock for smoky flavor, and are swimming in their own thick, rich broth. There's nothing boring or ho-hum about them...especially when served with a side of sweet cornbread or warm buttermilk biscuits! "
