"If you are looking for a way to fix lima beans besides boiling them in water try this recipe. I don't think you'll be sorry you tried them. :) If you want to have more of a buttery flavor,remove the beans from the liquid and place into a bowl then add the final 2 Tablespoons of butter and then salt and pepper to taste. I saw the basic recipe on another recipe site but I changed a few things to the recipe and decided to post it under my own name.Submitted to " ZAZZ " on August 2nd.,2012 (P.S.Since this recipe is similar to Bergy's Quick N'Easy Lima Beans,I was really hesitant about posting this. )"
