How to Make Lima Bean And Corn Casserole

Cook 1 (15 ounce) can lima beans and 1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn according to package directions. Drain well and set aside.
Prepare the sauce: Melt 1/4 cup margarine in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped spring onions and cook for 2-3 minutes, until softened.
Whisk in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour until smooth. Gradually whisk in 2 cups milk until smooth. Stir in 1 teaspoon salt and 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese.
Bring the sauce to a simmer, stirring constantly, until thickened (about 5-7 minutes).
Stir in 1/4 cup chopped pimentos and 1/2 cup chopped water chestnuts.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish.
Layer half of the cooked lima beans and corn in the prepared casserole dish. Pour half of the sauce over the vegetables.
Repeat layers with remaining vegetables and sauce.
Top with 1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup bread crumbs or crushed potato chips.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly around the edges.
