Southern Style Baby Lima Beans are cooked low and slow with bacon and seasoned to perfection. This country delicacy is melt in your mouth deliciousness!
In a large pot, slightly saute bacon about 1 to 2 minutes.
Add remaining ingredients and stir. Cover pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer.
Cook for 30 minutes, stirring periodically. If needed add water. You do not need a lot of liquid, but you don't want them to burn. So add if necessary. Season with salt if desired.
Cook for another 30 minutes until buttery tender and enjoy.
Notes
If you prefer to not have the bacon pieces in the beans, you can cook the slices in them whole and remove to serve.
