Prepare flavorful slow-cooked Cajun lima beans with ham bone, served with Mexican cornbread and side salad for a satisfying meal.
Ingredients:
  • 1 pound dried baby lima beans
  • 2 quarts water
  • 2 onions, coarsely chopped
  • 1 meaty ham bone
  • 1 cup leftover ham meat from bone, chopped
  • 3 cups water, or as needed to cover
  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
  • 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 0.25 teaspoon garlic salt, or to taste
Instructions:
  • In a large bowl, generously cover lima beans with 2 quarts of water and let soak for 8 hours or overnight. The following day, discard water, transfer beans to a slow cooker with onions, ham bone, and ham, ensuring they are submerged. Add 3 cups of water, or enough to cover all ingredients. Cook on High for 3 hours with the lid on.
  • Mix in the Cajun seasoning, black pepper, garlic salt, and cayenne pepper. Set the cooker to Low and simmer until the beans and meat are very tender, approximately 4 hours.
