My husband loved them!

These were on the plain side for me. They had flavor from the ham but seemed to be missing something. We liked them ok, but I think I will continue looking for one with more flavor! Thanks for sharing your recipe! Sheryl

These were good. Much better than canned beans any day. Mine took twice as long to cook bc I used large limas. Whoops. Also, next time I think I will use half chicken stock instead of all water, and add some thyme.
