I made this for supper tonight and, good gravy, it was delicious! I've never cooked ham hocks before, and was a little leery of them (even though my Granny used to cook everything with ham hocks or salt pork)... but they were really good, and had lots of meat to pull off and throw back in the "pot"... the only thing I have to say is it could use more Lima beans... next time I'll cook it with a full pound of them... otherwise, two thumbs up!

I grew up with this recipe. I've always loved it. My friends and neighbors are always surprised that they like lima beans. I substitute ham shanks for the ham hock's for even more meat.

For those of you who used a pound of beans, did you modify the quantity of any of the other ingredients?
