~ CREAMY LIMA BEANS ~
One of my very favorite meals my Gram would make when I was a kid. True comfort food. My beans are my own recipe. Not sure how she made hers, but these come real close. I serve them just like she did, with a side of yummy fried potatoes and favorite bread to soak up the yummy juices. Enjoy!

Steps:
- 1. Place 8 cups water in a dutch oven and bring to a boil. Once boiling add the bean, and boil for 5 minutes. Turn off burner, cover pot and let sit for 1 hour.
- 2. Drain and rinse beans.
- 3. In a med skillet over medium heat add the oil, onion, garlic, celery and ham. Saute until vegetables become tender, about 5 minutes.
- 4. Place beans back into dutch oven and cover with 6 cups water, making sure all beans are covered. Add the vegetable mixture and thyme. Stir and bring to a boil. Boil for 30 minutes, then lower heat, add bay leaf and simmer until beans are to desired tenderness Add more water as they cook if need be. We like ours thick, not like soup, but want some juice to serve over the potatoes Salt and pepper to taste.
- 5. In total mine were cooked in 1 1/2 hours after the initial soaking. They are delicious served with fried potatoes and onion, fried in bacon fat. This is exactly how my Gram would serve them.

Steps:
- Soak Beans overnight, with plenty of water above the beans. They soak it up!
- In the morning, drain the beans, cover with water, add 1 tsp salt and cook until slightly tender -- 20-30 minutes. However, you must watch these babies, because they have a big tendency to boil over!Just bring them to a boil (watching them), then lower the heat --- and still watch them!
- After the beans are cooked, drain again and rinse them under hot water, and place them in a lightly sprayed or greased (oleo) casserole dish.
- Dab Butter over beans; mix "lightly"! or they get squishy.
- Stir in Molasses.
- Finally, pour in sour cream and mix "tenderly".
- Bake at 350 for one hour. (again, keep an eye on them, I don't think I usually bake them for and entire hour).
