Mom's recipe. The cooking time depends on if you're using fresh or frozen lima beans. Fresh take an hour or more. Frozen take much less. (Check the package.)

Step 1

Cook lima beans with salt & pepper and ham pieces in water until done. Stir often. When finished, leave (or add) about 1 inch of water covering the beans.

Step 3

While you're waiting, mix the Bisquick & milk together to make the dumplings. Drop spoonfuls of dumpling batter onto the boiling beans.
Step 4

Cook for 10 minutes UNCOVERED, then 10 minutes COVERED.
Step 5

Serve hot with cornbread or bread & butter.
