341. LIMA BEANS and BACON

makes 8 servings


3 cups frozen lima beans
6 slices bacon (thick-sliced)
1 medium onion (roughly diced)
6 large button mushrooms (or 8 small)
2/3 cup low-fat sour cream
1 teaspoon curry powder (more as desired)
seasoning salt (optional)

Cook frozen lima beans per pkg directions while following remaining steps & set aside.

Roughly dice the medium onion & set aside.

Cut each large mushroom in half from top down through any stem. Put the cut edge down on your cutting board & slice each half in approx 1/3 inch slices & set aside.

Cut bacon slices in 1/2 inch segments & fry in a non-stick skillet until crisp. If you have more than 2 tbsp of rendered bacon fat grease, remove the excess of that amount.

Add diced onion & sliced mushrooms to skillet & saute until onion is translucent. Do not overcook to carmelized state.

Add 1 tsp curry powder + low-fat sour cream & combine well.

Taste & add additional curry powder or seasoning salt to your preferences.

Remove skillet from heat, add cooked lima beans, mix well & serve immediately.
