How to Make Dried Lima Beans in a Slow Cooker

My family has always hated lima beans. I’ve always had a hard time getting them to try recipes with them. But then we went on vacation and they tried some that had been slow cooked all day with ham and they fell head over heels. I knew I could make them at home and get them to try… So I had Mikey use my recipe and try it on video!

And boy oh boy am I NOT hearing complaints about mom’s lima beans anymore!

Old Fashioned Crock Pot Lima Beans and Ham Notes

• You will need to use dry beans for this recipe. Dry beans are less expensive than canned and frozen but they do take a little more work. You will need to rinse and sort your beans and then either soak them overnight or using the “quick soak” method on the bag they come in. This little extra step will be sooo worth it.
• I used ham hocksin my recipe because I didn’t have a ham bone or leftover ham from a recent meal. Ham hocks can be found at the grocery store near where they sell hams. They are typically inexpensive and they bring so much flavor to the dish. If you cannot find them, you could substitute bacon in this recipe, however, I would imagine that the flavor would be a bit different.
• I used my 4 qt slow cooker for this recipe, but you could use a 5 or 6 qt, it just might take less time.
