- Transfer bacon with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Reserve 2 tablespoons bacon grease in the skillet.
- Add 1/2 medium yellow onion, chopped, and 1/2 bell pepper (any color), chopped, to the skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until softened (5-6 minutes).
- Stir in 1 cup baby lima beans, 1 cup frozen corn, 1/2 cup water, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook until vegetables are tender (about 8 minutes).

- Stir in 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives and additional salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately, sprinkled with the reserved crispy bacon.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
