Got this cooking in the crock pot. Nothing except for dutch oven made chili is better. I use smoked ham hocks from local butcher and took some and cubed it with potatoes. How do you folks make it?

Used a 2lb can of Hanover large Lima beans rinsed well.

My last was Navy bean and sausage with onion,celery and a sweet potato*. I used a bay leaf,a few whole cloves, cumin and a few peppercorns. Basic recipe on bag plus inspiration from a recipe in Joy of Cooking. And some soggy veggies. I used to make pea soup, but beans are better smelling.

Not about the amount, but the fact they're "canned beans". I prefer slow cooking dried beans, but that's just me.

What's the rest of the recipe? Lima beans aren't what would strike me as first choice for this soup, based upon flavor. Still worth a try...
I usually use this with a leftover ham bone that has decent amounts of meat attached. Always a winner for me.

Large Lima beans, ham I cubed and cut up, 3-4 smoked ham neckbones from local butcher/deli and potatoes. Put in crockpot and wait 4 hours with crockpot set on high

How about black beans, red kidney beans and chick peas. Used them to make Chili last week. Planning on buying bone-in ham this Christmas and will make ham and beans in the Crock pot.
