Tender and buttery, Lima Bean Stew is a hearty family favorite. Just a quarter cup of dry beans yields 7 grams of fiber and protein! This is a delicious and satisfying stew; good for you and super easy to make.
Recipe:
1 16 ounce bag dry Baby Lima Beans
1/2 pound bacon
1 large onion
1 bay leaf
4-6 cups water
salt and pepper to taste
Method:
Rinse beans and pick out any that are discolored or misshapen. Cover beans with water, soak overnight. Rinse beans with cold water and add to the pot of a slow cooker, set to high heat, cover beans with water, about 4-6 cups. Cook bacon until crisp, crumble bacon over beans, chop onion and cook in bacon grease until translucent, add onions and bay leaf to pot and stir to combine, cook 6-8 hours. Add additional water if stew becomes to thick. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve hot with buttered bread.

Hi Shirley, I bet your son would really enjoy this stew even though it doesn't use cream. The beans are creamy and rich you don't miss the dairy one bit. I'll stop by and check out your blog promotion!! Thanks for the invitePam, thank you for stopping by and checking out my lima bean recipe. I can honestly say that my very picky son couldn't believe lima beans could taste so good. Let me know what your kids think!
This is so timely because my kids were just talking about lima beans this weekend. They were saying there's no way I could make tasty lima beans. I think the addition of bacon in this stew will prove them wrong!
