Skillet Lima Beans Food

SKILLET LIMA BEANS

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the bacon. Cook until crispy, about 15 minutes. Remove the bacon from the skillet to paper towels, reserving the drippings in the skillet. Crumble the bacon once cooled.
• Add the butter to the drippings in the skillet and heat until melted. Add the onion and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the lima beans and garlic. Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Cook until the lima beans are tender and the broth has evaporated, about 25 minutes.
• Add the bell pepper, tomatoes and crumbled bacon, adding more butter if needed. Saute until the vegetables are tender, 2 to 3 minutes longer. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.

SKILLET GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Heat the oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the green beans and garlic and season with salt and pepper. Add the broth. Cover and cook just until the beans are crisp-tender, about 8 minutes.
• Just before serving, stir in the lemon juice. Top with the lemon zest and Parmesan.

BEST LIMA BEANS YOU'LL EVER EAT!

Steps:

• Cook frozen lima beans per pkg directions while following remaining steps & set aside.
• Roughly dice the medium onion & set aside.
• 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.
• 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.
• Add diced onion & sliced mushrooms to skillet & saute until onion is translucent. Do not overcook to carmelized state.
• Add 1 tsp curry powder + low-fat sour cream & combine well.
• Taste & add additional curry powder or seasoning salt to your preferences.
• Remove skillet from heat, add cooked lima beans, mix well & serve immediately.
• Note: My advice is to plan for 2nd helpings. You'll need them!
