Country-Style Baby Lima Beans

Submitted by Chef PotPie

"These are so easy and so good with so many entrees, especially fried chicken with mashed potatoes. I've been making these for a long time, and they are one of my favorite sides. I am asked to bring them to barbeques, too. Comfort food! And so easy using frozen baby limas. From SouthYourMouth.com. Check out her recipes, she is a genius and cooks like my Grama did."

 

• Ready In: 1hr 10mins
• Ingredients: 5

ingredients

• 5 slices bacon, diced
• 1⁄3 cup onion, diced (optional)
• 1 lb frozen baby lima bean
• 3 -4 cups chicken broth
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt (or more to taste)

directions

1. Fry bacon with onion until crisp in medium sauce pan with lid.
2. Add beans and then broth to cover beans a little less than an inch.
3. Cook over medium heat until just boiling, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes.
4. Add salt, then cook for another 30 minutes or until beans are very tender. Taste for salt and add more, if desired. (I add black pepper here, too.)
5. Turn off heat, uncover pan, and let beans rest for 15 minutes before serving.

These baby lima beans were such a great addition to my "country-style" dinner tonight. I cooked them exactly as instructed and they were tender and delicious. Served along with creamed potatoes, corn and sliced homegrown tomatoes. This made a wonderful vegetable dinner tonight. : )

Wow, what a lovely surprise. I made this recipe for my dh and fell in love. The lima beans were perfect prepared this way. Tender, salty and full of flavor. Full bodied. Thank you for sharing this lovely treat. Kudos to you PotPie on making it into my Best of 2019 Cookbook. Made for Autumn Fever - 2019.
