Fantastic. Skipped the breadcrumbs (dietary reasons) but added the chives as recommended by another chef. Love the sauce and it was so simple!

    This was very tasty but I felt needed something more--I added some cracked pepper and some fresh chives which considerably brightened the dish.

    I have had this recipe in my "TO DO" pile for ages and finally made it. I am sorry I waited so long, Delicious. The Blue cheese compliments the lima beans. I was a bit skimpy with the buttered crumbs (I cut back from the recipe ) Next time I will listen to you! Thanks Miss Annie for a great Lima Bean recipe

    I used frozen lima beans and wish I had used the canned ones. They never got quite as soft as I thought they should, if I had used canned wouldn't have had to worry about that. Even so, the taste was marvelous!!, the sauce was thinner than I thought it would be, but it didn't matter. The crumb top turned a wonderfull golden brown and I added some crumbled left over blue cheese in with them, mmmmmmmm good recipe and I will certainly make them again but next time will use canned lima beans. Thanks for sharing a very tasty keeper!
