Love, love, love! So easy to throw together and so tasty! I used frozen limas because we don't like the consistency of canned. And like another reviewer, used 1/2 tbsp dijon and 1/2 tbsp prepared horseradish. I don't know if it was the horseradish or the vinegar, but these beans have an amazing tang that perfectly offsets the sweetness. Not too sweet, as I think it depends on the beans you're using. I used Bush's Boston Recipe beans. And cider vinegar, in case anyone is wondering. Thanks for sharing, Lynn - I understand why this is a family favorite of yours!

I love beans, so I enjoyed this. I could not find canned lima beans though, so I used white beans. I also don't like bacon (strange, I know), so I left that out. Even without the bacon, the dish was well-flavored and savory. I doubled the serving portion and we had this as a main dish. [made & reviewed for PRMR]
