Creamy Baked Lima Beans Recipes

CREAMED LIMA BEANS

Steps:

• Cook lima beans according to package directions; I use the microwave.
• Melt butter in saucepan, stir in flour and blend well.
• Add milk, about 1/2 cup at a time, and blend with whisk.
• Cook over medium heat until thickened.
• Total amount of milk depends on how thick you prefer the sauce to be.
• Stir in sugar, salt and pepper.
• Add cooked, drained lima beans.

CREAMY BAKED LIMA BEANS

Steps:

• Soak Beans overnight, with plenty of water above the beans. They soak it up!
• In the morning, drain the beans, cover with water, add 1 tsp salt and cook until slightly tender -- 20-30 minutes. However, you must watch these babies, because they have a big tendency to boil over!Just bring them to a boil (watching them), then lower the heat --- and still watch them!
• After the beans are cooked, drain again and rinse them under hot water, and place them in a lightly sprayed or greased (oleo) casserole dish.
• Dab Butter over beans; mix "lightly"! or they get squishy.
• Stir in Molasses.
• Finally, pour in sour cream and mix "tenderly".
• Bake at 350 for one hour. (again, keep an eye on them, I don't think I usually bake them for and entire hour).

A WHOLE NEW WAY TO ENJOY LIMA BEANS

Steps:

• Cook the lima beans in boiling salted water as directed on the package. If using canned lima beans, you will not need to add salt.
• Add sugar (if using) to the cooking water.
• Drain the beans well. At this point, the beans are still hot.
• Add the cream and butter to the hot beans. Taste and add salt and pepper as desired.
• Serve beans warm.
