How to Make Baked Lima Beans

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine lima beans, bacon grease, onion, garlic, brown sugar, molasses, salt, pepper, and thyme.
  3. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated.
  4. Pour mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
