How to Make Betty Crocker 1950S Savory Lima Beans
- Rinse 1 pound of fresh or frozen lima beans. If using dried beans, soak overnight and cook according to package directions.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the lima beans with 1 cup of water, 1 teaspoon of yellow mustard, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until beans are tender but not mushy. Alternatively, steam the beans with mustard, sugar and salt sprinkled over them for the same time.
- Drain the beans thoroughly, reserving about 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid if needed to adjust consistency.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more salt, sugar, or lemon juice to your preference.
- Serve immediately, garnished with a half-slice of lemon. Enjoy this blast from the past!
