Project Description

Recipe Ingredients:

  • 3 cups dry large lima beans

  • 3/4 cup finely chopped onion (1 small)

  • 1/2 cup ketchup

  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce

  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder

Instructions

Soak beans in 8 cups cold water for 1 hour. Drain

Add 10 cups hot water. Bring to a boil. Cover with lid slightly tipped and cook 1 hours until tender, stirring occasionally. Add more water if needed to keep beans covered. Drain, reserving 1 1/2 cups liquid.

Add onion, ketchup, barbecue sauce, and 1 cup of reserved liquid to beans. Cover and simmer over low heat for 30 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Add remaining 1/2 cup water if thinner consistency is desired. Let stand covered 10-15 minutes before serving. Makes 8 cups. Serves 8.
