SO HOW'D IT GO?
Love these. Try adding some Tony Chachere's creole seasoning instead of the salt and pepper, fabulous!

I love these. So comforting. I only added enough water to just cover beans when cooking and they came out great. Didn't need to cook them for a full hour though. I served them with some very garlicky collard greens. Perfect for a cold evening! ;)b
These were so good and simple to make! They taste just like beans my dad used to make. He called them "soup beans". Yum.
I would recommend using less water or draining off most of the liquid before adding the marg, salt and pepper.
Sounds great! I am a southern girl and I LOOOOOVE lima beans. I like the Fordhook lima beans and I use a white onion(cut in half), adobo seasoning, and a little Smart Balance. They turn out so creamy and good. Thanks for the recipe!
