Ingredients:

• 1 lb pkg large lima beans
• 1 1/2 cups seasoned ham pieces
• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• 2-3 medium carrots, peeled and cut into small pieces
• 1 medium smoked sausage, cut into bite size pieces (optional)
• 1/8 tsp ground mustard
• 1/8 tsp soul seasoning
• 1/8 tsp seasoned salt
• Pepper to taste
• Enough water just to cover

Method

Quick soak, rinse and sort beans in a large pot. Add 6-8 cups hot water and bring to a boil. Boil 2 minutes and remove from heat. Cover and let stand 1 hour. Drain water and rinse beans. Combine all ingredients in large crock pot and stir well. Cook 8-9 hours on low or about 6 on high, or to desired consistency.

Notes: I like to serve this with fried potatoes and corn bread. Soul seasoning is a blend of spices--if you can't find it in your store, check the Internet.

Number of servings: 6
