• 1 bag dried lima beans
• 1 smoked ham hock

1. Soak lima beans according to package directions.
2. Place beans, ham hock and onion in pot.
3. (I like to use my pressure cooker but it's not necessary) Cook beans according to package directions.
4. Taste a bean to make sure cooked through.
5. Cook until tender.
6. You can also add a small chopped potatoe to the pot when you cook beans.
7. This will help thicken liquid and all you need is a pan of cornbread and a salad with this.
