BEST-EVER SUCCOTASH

Steps:

• Place lima beans in a medium saucepan, and add water to cover. Bring to a boil over medium-high. Reduce to medium-low, and simmer until beans are just tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Add butter, and cook, stirring constantly, until butter is melted, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
