Ham and Lima beans help. please.

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?

That boys and girls is why they make menus..😂

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

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.
