    Keeping with this months theme of  SOUPS and STEWS, today I'm sharing my mother's recipe for Lima Bean Bacon Stew. This delicious and satisfying meal is not only good for you, it's super easy to make and it's also one of my Fall Favorite Recipes!

    Tender and buttery, lima beans are stewed to perfection with onions and cooked bacon. The combination is simple yet hearty, and the perfect meal for a cool Fall evening. 

    I hope you enjoy the lima bean bacon stew recipe as much as I do.

      Thank you for this great recipe. I made it tonight and it was delicious. The instructions didn't mention when to add the lima beans. I didn't have canned limas - only frozen. So, I added them to the pot after bringing to a boil and continued boiling for the instructed 2 minutes. Then, I reduced to a simmer and continued cooking until the limas were just right in texture. I also happened to have plenty of chicken broth on hand. So, I used chicken broth in place of the water. This is really great meal on a cold night.
