Lima Bean Soup by Ashley

Do not let the Lima Bean part fool you. This recipe is awesome. It makes a ton. And it is southern to the core. Serve it with cornbread!! Please at least try it!! Yummy.

Ingredients:
2 cups dry baby lima beans (or regular size limas work also)
Lower sodium bacon (you can use turkey bacon)
1 (10-ounce) frozen whole kernel corn
1 (14-ounce) package smoked kielbasa or sausage, thinly sliced (I used turkey kielbasa)
1 onion, chopped
1 1/2 Tablespoon flour
salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:
Place beans in large heavy saucepan. Add enough water to cover. Bring to a boil. Cook covered for 2 1/2 hours or until tender. Cook bacon in large skillet on medium heat until crispy. (Note: Since the turkey doesn't have much fat, I used a little bit of olive oil.) Drain on paper towels, reserving drippings in skillet. Crumble bacon. Add bacon, corn kielbasa (or sausage) and onion to beans in saucepan. Reduce heat to low; simmer 1 hour. Stir flour into reserved bacon drippings in skillet. Cook on medium-low heat until bubbly, stirring frequently. Gradually stir in 1 1/2 cups of water until well blended. Cook on medium heat until mixture boils and thickens, stirring constantly. Add soup; simmer 30 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

This recipe is so common I am not even sure if I should post it. However, if you do not have a recipe for this or have never had it you have GOT to try it. Such a Southern recipe. Grew up having it and everyone in college made it.

Crush 1 1/2 sleeves of crackers and pour into butter. Stir and spread over bottom of dish. Shred COOKED chicken(boil it to cook it) and layer over crackers. Mix sour cream and both soups together and pour over chicken. Melt 1/2 stick of butter in a mixing bowl. Crush remaining crackers and add to butter. Stir until mixed well then add to top of casserole. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes or until golden brown.

Beans, Beans, they are good for your heart. :) By: Lindsey

So, maybe because we are from the South...I don't know...but the men of our family L-O-V-E beans. Any kind of bean will do. But they love them. And honestly, most of us women do to. I just started making beans for my hubby. My mother-in-law(the woman who sends me most of these yummy recipes on here) has introduced to me a new way and EASY way to make some good ole black eyed peas and lima bean mixture(or whatever kind of bean you would like). I made them tonight and my dad and husband absolutely loved them. My Dad said he would rather have those beans then the ones my Mom makes with a real ham hock. ha. That should tell you how good they are. Here ya go...it is easy breezy. 1 bag of frozen lima beans(or baby lima beans) 1 bag of black eyed peas 1 can of green beans(optional) 3 packets of Goya Ham Seasoning(they come in a box) Combine all beans together in a pot. Fill up the pot with water just covering the beans. Pour three packets of Goya Ham Seasoning in the pot. Stir...
