"This is my absolute favorite baked beans recipe - I didn't like them until I tasted this. It is my aunt's - a family favorite! When I can't find limas in a can, I use a frozen package. We also make this vegetarian by omitting the bacon."

This was a huge hit with my family! It is easy and very tasty. I couldn't find lima beans, so I used Cannellini beans instead. Definitely make again!!
