From the recipe box of my grandma Micki Sommer. There are several similar recipes out there, but nothing quite as good as this one. :) Always made with love, as all of her recipes were.

Lima Bean Barbecue

Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients:
2 (16 oz.) packages dried lima beans
1 tbsp. salt
2 (10 oz.) packages pork sausage links, (24 links)
1 onion, chopped
2 cups ketchup
1/2 cup liquid from cooked beans
2 tbsp. horseradish
3 tsp. worcestershire sauce

Directions:
Cover beans with water. Boil for 2 minutes and then turn off the heat and let soak for at least 1 hour. Add the salt and boil gently for 45 minutes or until tender. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid.

In a small bowl, mix the onion, ketchup, cooking liquid, horseradish and worcestershire sauce. Pour over the beans and toss to coat.

Fry sausage until brown.

Place half of the beans in a 9 x 3 x 2" casserole dish. Cover with half of the sausage. Add the remaining beans and top with the rest of the sausage.

Bake uncovered at 400º F for 20 minutes.
