[cooked-sharing]
1 pound dry lima beans
3 tbsp brown sugar
3 tbsp butter
4 strips bacon
1 tsp salt
½ tsp pepper
5 oz marshmallows
1
Soak the limas in cold water for 5 to 6 hours. Drain off this water and add fresh water until beans are covered. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cook for 30 minutes until tender.
2
Melt the butter and add the sugar, then salt and pepper to taste. Turn the beans into a greased casserole, leaving about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of cooking liquid. Pour butter and seasoning over beans. Lay strips of bacon on top. Cover and bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees. Add more cooking liquid while baking if beans seem too dry.
3
Remove cover and put marshmallows on top of the bacon. Brown marshmallows under the broiler. Serve in the casserole.
