How to Make

  • Step 1: If you are using canned corn, drain off the liquid.

  • Step 2: Set aside.

  • Step 3: Cook the frozen lima beans following package directions. (I would just add them to pan)

  • Step 4: Drain, set aside.

  • Step 5: Cook the bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove to paper to drain leaving grease in pan.

  • Step 6: Add the diced onion to the bacon grease and saute over medium-low until the onions are softened but not brown.

  • Step 7: Crumble the cooled bacon and set aside.

  • Step 8: In the pan with the sauteed onions, add the frozen corn, stir over medium heat for about 5 minutes to cook the corn.

  • Step 9: Add drained lima beans.

  • Step 10: Add the half and half/cream to get the “creaminess” you desire, don't boil, simmer

  • Step 11: Stir in the butter, season to taste with salt and pepper.

  • Step 12: Simmer a couple minutes to heat thoroughly.

  • Step 13: Sprinkle with crumbled bacon as garnish when serving.
