Baby Lima Beans and Corn
"A good SOUTHERN DISH! This dish graces the table at buffets, potlucks and in homes in the south. Also known as "butter beans" and are grown in small home gardens. When purchasing a frozen bag or box of these wonderful beans be sure to buy the kind which say "tiny" or "baby" lima beans. These beans go well with any meat as well as fried chicken, ham or pork chops. The blended flavors of lima beans, corn and bacon drippings make anyone feel like they are seated at Grandma's table!"

My husband is a vegetarian, so I substituted olive oil and smoked paprika for the bacon drippings. Still wonderful and has that smoky, rich flavor. -
I asked my mama if she thought I was too big for my britches and she didn't readily answer. I'm back on the diet wagon. Made for Alphabet Soup Tag. -
Oh, my. This is a very creamy, flavorful veggie stew. The lima beans became very soft and sweet. I used frozen corn. This is a delightful recipe to serve with a pot roast or other long-cooking meat dish. Made for Aus/NZ Swap. -
I followed mightyro's lead and put a slice of cut up bacon in the pan, rendered the fat and added the beans and corn. The dish was cooked in waterless cookware which required no added water and was cooked through in about 20 minutes. This was served with recipe #378981, recipe #85511 and fresh garden tomatoes. Made for Aussie Swap. -
This was wonderful. I used a small can of corn instead of a 10 ounce can. I did add in a piece of bacon, cut up. I will make this again.

<p>Thanks for taking the time to stop by My Page! I am married to a quiet, but fun loving guy who cleans up the kitchen!! I have grandchildren who I adore. I am retired from being a paralegal and a real estate agent. I have also been a substitute teacher for the elementary grades in the public school system. All of my recipes are the tried and true type. Many of them have come from my 48 years of cooking, my mother's recipe box or other relatives. I like Taste of Home magazine and I am a big fan of foodnetworkTV. I am a southern girl and enjoy comfort foods!!! I am a big cookbook collector and have been for years. I enjoy baking desserts most of all. I also enjoy games on my laptop, growing flowers, lunches with friends, babysitting grandchildren, photography and traveling. Since life is so short I try to count my blessings each day and give to the less fortunate. I had gotten into a rut on what to cook. Therefore, I am so happy I found the Recipezaar site. Pet Peeve: People with a negative attitude. MY RATING SYSTEM: 5 stars - Excellent in taste. May have minor change. 4 stars - Adjustment in ingredients for flavor. 3 stars - Fair, but not sure whether I would repeat. 2 and 1 stars - I do NOT give.
