Parton Family Baked Lima Beans & Sausage
"This came from a cookbook called “All Day Singing and Dinner on the Ground” by Willadeene Parton (Dolly’s sister) that we recently got. The cookbook is full of really good, simple family recipes! I love lima beans, so here’s one we’ve adapted and hope to make. Time does not include overnight bean soaking."
- Ready In:
- 1hr 55mins
- Ingredients:
- 10
- Serves:
-
6-8
ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 cups dried lima beans
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 lb pork sausage, browned well until crisp
- 1⁄4 cup molasses
- 1⁄2 cup condensed cream of tomato soup
- 1⁄2 cup tomato ketchup
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard
- fresh ground black pepper, to taste
- 1⁄8 teaspoon granulated garlic or 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1⁄4 cup hot water
directions
- Soak the beans in lots of water overnight, then drain, rinse, and pick out any bad ones.
- In a large pot, cover with cold water and add salt. Simmer covered over medium heat for 35 to 45 min until tender (make sure they don’t get mushy). The amount of time it takes will depend on how large the beans are.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Drain and pour the cooked beans into a well-oiled baking dish.
- In a bowl, combine the remaining ingredients and stir to combine well. Add to the beans and fold it all together.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm from Alaska, a Tlingit (prounounced "klingit") native American and Norwegian. I love food! If I could live on the ocean, I would. Fishing is where I find peace. My name is Darrell but my nephew calls me "Uncle Dobo" and these days many family members do, too. Someday I hope my sisters will have RecipeZaar accounts, too, so they can share their recipes with all our family members more easily. :)
I'm good friends with <a href="http://www.recipezaar.com/member/39547">Julesong</a> and her husband <a href="http://www.recipezaar.com/member/39857">Steingrim</a>, and they're great cooks. They cook a lot more "ethnic" food than I'm used to - I'm more a meat and potatoes kind of guy - but I'm coming to like some of the food styles they eat a lot.
My nephew, Julesong, and myself are collecting native Alaskan recipes these days, so you'll soon be seeing some of them appear in my list. Julesong types them up for us (and maintains my Zaar account for me). The ingredients will probably be unusual for most Americans, but I think it's important to collect the information about our Native Alaskan American heritage and share it with others. My nephew Jared collected some of them from family members while visiting Anchorage.
