Mother always started by dicing about three or four slices of bacon, cooking until bacon is brown and rendered, then adding water. When the water boils, dump in the frozen lima beans and cover again. Bring back to a boil. Turn fire down to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes. Check to see if you need to add more water, and taste for salt. Add salt and water if needed. Cover and bring back to a simmer for another 30 minutes. Check the beans to see if they're done. They should be creamy inside, not mealy feeling. Serve when ready! Very simple, but irresistible!
