I love it when my first bite of something makes me say "wow". These
Pressure Cooker Buttery Frozen Lima Beans with Bacon have amazing flavor and are truly wow worthy. Creamy beans, bacon, butter, onions and brown sugar... This is a very hearty side dish, and truthfully, I would be happy eating it as my main meal for lunch with a nice piece of cornbread. Think you don't like lima beans? This might just change your mind:@)
I chose to use four pieces of bacon but amped up the flavor by cooking it using the brown feature in the pressure cooker and subbing the bacon fat for one tablespoon of the butter. You'll notice some liquid in the pan as soon as it's done cooking, but within five minutes it will be absorbed back into the beans, just give them a good stir. Don't hesitate to give this a try folks, it's really good!
