3301. MAPLE BACON LIMA BEANS

serves six


1/2 cup uncooked bacon, diced 1/2"
1/4 cup onions, diced 1/4"
1/2 cup maple syrup, pure or imitation
1/4 tsp. black pepper, ground
2 (14.5 oz) cans lima beans
2 uncooked bacon slices, cut in half

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place the diced bacon and onions in a nonstick pan. Cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until onions soften and start to brown, and the bacon is mostly cooked. Add black pepper, maple syrup and lima beans to the pan. Mix until well combined. Pour the bean mixture into an 8"x 8"x 2" casserole dish. Top the bean mixture with the raw bacon slices. Bake for 1-1/2 hours or until the beans are thickened.
