How to Make Barbecued Lima Beans And Ham
- In a large pot, combine 1 pound dried lima beans, 8 cups water, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour, or until beans are tender but not mushy.
- Drain the beans, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a 2-quart baking dish, layer half of the cooked lima beans, 1 pound cooked ham (diced), and 1/2 medium yellow onion (thinly sliced).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of your reserved bean liquid, 1/2 cup barbecue sauce, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Pour the barbecue sauce mixture over the layered beans and ham.
- Layer the remaining lima beans and ham on top.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 1 hour.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the beans are tender and the sauce has thickened, adding more reserved liquid if needed for moisture.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley or green onions, if desired.
