Recipe - Dried Lima Beans

1 pack Dried lima beans, soaked
overnight
1 md Onion, chopped
1 lg Carrot minced
One fourth teaspoon Liquid smoke (up to 1/2)

Dried beans are an excellent source of protien and other nutrients.
However, many bean recipies I have ask for some type of meat product to be
cooked with the beans. One of my favorite dried beans is the large dried
lima beans. I modified the original receipe and, I believe, have recreated
the original flavor with no fat.

Put all ingredients except liquid smoke in a crockpot and add enough water
to cover the beans by about One half inch. Cook on low for 4 to 6 hours (the
actual time doesn't make a lot of difference). Just before serving, add the
liquid smoke (I find if I add it in the beginning the flavor cooks out).
Add additional water to adjust thickness of the broth.

Serve with homemade ff cornbread. Enjoy!
