This is great. I have made lima's before, However I have never added garlic. Plus I have not cooked the Ham Hocks and the onion and garlic together. It sure makes a big difference. Thank You for the wonderful idea and the recipe.

Excellent! I love lima beans and like the first reviewer had never added garlic before. The garlic adds alot of flavor. Thanks for a wonderful southern recipe!

Another great southern dish. Made it with hamhocks. The garlic took it right over the top. Had friends over and they wanted all the leftovers. This was great over rice with some hot cornbread..mmm mmm good.

OH my goodness that was soooooo good! I just had it for dinner tonight, and my dad, who is usually quite discriminatory, well he loved it just as much as I did. :D Wish we made more! I didn't have any ham hocks or anything like that on hand, so I used some salt pork, and that worked just fine. Thanks so much for posting the recipe! I just can't understand how so many folks think so poorly of lima beans... lol

Superb lima recipe...i am a 36 year old man in florida and cannot cook like my grandma did, so I need all the help I can get. Thanks again. The garlic was phenomenal. Dan

I made this from a bag of dry lima beans and you are right. There is absolutely no need to soak them. I used a ham bone that I had in the freezer from Christmas with some meat still on it. I followed the recipe exactly, but I didn't serve it over rice. I just served it in a big bowl with a skillet of cornbread. Delicious! This is so flavorful and so easy. I will be making this a regular dish at my house. Thank you so much for sharing it.

I didn't have any ham, so used bacon instead and used the drippings instead of the oil. It was delicious over cornbread- reminded me of my mom's ham and beans only better. Thanksfor the great recipe! I would never have thought to make lima beans this way.

My husband is in heaven! I did as the previous reviewer, serve them over cornbread. My husband is from Louisiana and requested this recipe. "I want it without any fancy spices" is what he said and this got 10 stars in his book.

I don't use hamhocks - I use ham pieces
