Sarasota'S Spicy Garlic And Bacon Lima Beans - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) bag frozen baby lima beans, thawed (the small green ones)
4 -5 slices bacon, diced (I prefer a smoky flavor)
1 medium onion, diced
2 teaspoons minced garlic (you can use more or less, according to taste)
1/3 cup chicken broth
1 pinch red pepper flakes (more or less depending on taste)
1 teaspoon butter (you can add more if you like)
salt
pepper

Preparation

Bacon -- In a medium sauce pan, add the bacon and begin to saute on medium heat - don't try to rush it. After the bacon begins to crisp up, drain any excess drippings from the pan. I leave just enough drippings in the pan (1/2 teaspoon), to coat the onion and garlic.
Onion and Garlic -- Add the onion, garlic, and red pepper flakes to the pan with the bacon and saute for 2-3 minutes.
Beans -- Finish it up. Add the broth, beans and butter and simmer uncovered (medium heat) for 5 minutes or less until the beans are warm and the broth is reduced. Season with salt and pepper.
Serve and enjoy!
