Ham and Crusty Dumplings

 Leigh Ann (California) says:
This was yummy. I didn't have lima beans, so I substituted kidney beans. Also subbed chopped frozen red pepper for the pimentos and used half the butter called for in the bread crumbs; it was plenty (but I crumbled up fresh bread instead of using the dried kind, if that makes a difference). I'd definitely make this again. It would be even better with the lima beans!

P.S. Substituting the canned beans did make the dish really salty, so frozen ones would definitely work better.
