CREAMY BAKED LIMA BEANS

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).

LIMA BEANS AND SAUSAGE

Steps:

• 2. Bring to a rapid boil then remove from the stove and rinse beans in cold water, removing all baking soda. This step eliminates having to soak the beans overnight.
• 3. Put beans, onions, garlic and salt & pepper in a medium sauce pan and cover with water.
• 4. Cut sausage into 2" pieces and add to pot. Bring water to a boil and then reduce heat to a simmer. Continue to simmer until beans are cooked, adding water as needed to keep the beans from sticking.
• 5. Watch beans closely as the water will cook down quickly and you will need to replenish it often. Beans should be soupy when finished.
