Cheese Limas on Ham

A quick and easy recipe.. that takes three ingredients  and cooks at a glance. It can be eaten at any meal time.. and was incredibly tasty. 

Lima Beans remind me of a smaller version of the Broad Beans we used to grow and eat in England.. but they are really hard to find here in the US. I think in this recipe, they can be easily interchanged. I think its going to be one of my favourite lunches

1/2 inch slice smoked ham

2 cups canned or frozen baby Limas

1 cup grated American cheese
