I have been looking for a recipe for years for Lima Beans. My late Father, and Grandmother used to make them.I only remember tasting Dad’s one time but never forgot the taste.I have tried a few recipes for this same dish but none was ” as good as Dad’s”. Until today.Thank you so much. I made it today for Mom and I. We were blown away with how good this recipe is. Mom is having Family over this Sunday. We will be serving this delicious recipe. I will be handing this recipe down to both of my Daughters. Thanks again!
