Ham and Lima beans help. please. - tommag - 05-18-2024

After looking at recipes for crockpot Lima beans I'm not seeing any that use celery.  My mind tells me I should use a stalk or two of celery as well as some grated carrot.  Am I trying to screw a pot of ham and Lima beans up?

I thought it was why they make recipes. Unless you wanted to go to a restaurant that serves lima beans. Big Grin

Recipes are guides ment to be bent and twisted to fit your desired outcome 

Except baking, you can’t screw with baking recipes

Does that mean I can't substitute powdered sugar for flour?  They look identical.

Do they taste the same??

made the spicy tomato gravy & eggs this morning and used lots of garlic & EVOO and other leftovers not following any recipe but went in the general direction and it was tasty & will help make a carb free turd 🤪🤪

I cooked the Lima beans with what I had on hand. Onion,garlic,ham soup base and a ham steak from the freezer. It's hard to screw up beans, but I did my best to ruin it.
Most of the basic flavors were there but I should've picked up a ham hock and some celery. It was way too bland. A ham hock would've gone a long way to make it richer.

My Mama used to use bacon when cooking beans. Try it, you'll like it.
