Best Lima Beans You'll Ever Eat!

Recipe #162414 | 25 min | 10 min prep | add private note

I got this recipe yrs ago from a friend who served this dish at a dinner party & it got rave reviews. When you want to impress or convince a lima bean non-believer, this is the recipe for you. There are only a few lima bean recipes at this site compared to other veggies. This 1 is an easy to prepare stovetop-to-table dish & spectacular with any meat or chicken entree not combined with a cream sauce. Enjoy!

SERVES 8 , 1/2 cups (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Cook frozen lima beans per pkg directions while following remaining steps & set aside.
  2. 2
    Roughly dice the medium onion & set aside.
  3. 3
    Cut each large mushroom in half from top down through any stem. Put the cut edge down on your cutting board & slice each half in approx 1/3 inch slices & set aside.
  4. 4
    Cut bacon slices in 1/2 inch segments & fry in a non-stick skillet until crisp. If you have more than 2 tbsp of rendered bacon fat grease, remove the excess of that amount.
  5. 5
    Add diced onion & sliced mushrooms to skillet & saute until onion is translucent. Do not overcook to carmelized state.
  6. 6
    Add 1 tsp curry powder + low-fat sour cream & combine well.
  7. 7
    Taste & add additional curry powder or seasoning salt to your preferences.
  8. 8
    Remove skillet from heat, add cooked lima beans, mix well & serve immediately.
  9. 9
    Note: My advice is to plan for 2nd helpings. You'll need them!

Simply wonderful. I will never make lima beans any other way. I added some fresh cracked pepper too. I will try this sauce with other beans too in the future. Thanks so much twissis!

    Lima beans are my very favorite vegetable in the world and this recipe is now my all-time favorite way to prepare them. I usually just have them plain, but this recipe has changed that. I do have to admit I only used about 1/4 t of the curry powder because I am not a big fan of that, but the other reviewers said it was a must so I compromised. I will definitely be making this recipe again. It's wonderful! Made for the Aussie/New Zealand Recipe Swap#19.

    Very tasty! The only change I made was leaving the curry out, as I didn't have any. I added about 1 t. Lantana seasoning salt. Will definitly make again. Thanks twissis!

    There are the only way I make lima beans now. They are THAT good! I skipped the bacon and it still came out good.
