This is cheap eating at it's best. Really good for scraping by at the end of the month if your cash gets low. Goes best with freshly baked corn muffins drizzled with honey.

Very good and easy to make. I made them in the crockpot and it was nice to have dinner waiting when I got home. I served them with cornbread and applesauce.

    This was a big hit. I used dried lima beans, to recreate my father-in-law's butter beans. DH said it was very close, and gave it a thumbs up. Served with cornbread. Thanks for sharing!

    Last night before I went to bed I found this recipe. I was thrilled to see it, since I had already put some dry beans in to soak overnight...and was surprised to see this recipe that I didn't even have to search for. I had never put garlic or cloves in my beans before...so this was very new to me. When I came home today and smelled the garlic I was afraid that the amount of it in the recipe was going to be too much for me...since I like garlic best in small doses. Boy was I wrong...this recipe is great!!! The combination of flavors really complimented the beans and the ham. I barely had a small mixing bowl of leftovers...usually I have so much left over that I end up having to throw some of it out before it all gets eaten. I also baked corn muffins with it as suggested.

    I wasn't sure I liked this the first day, but the second and third, it was DELICIOUS. My kids even liked it. The cloves gave it an unusual flavor that I really liked.
