Total Time: 1 hr 45 mins Preparation Time: 45 mins Cook Time: 1 hr

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 1 lb dried lima beans
• 3 teaspoons salt
• 3/4 cup butter (butter is best, but often i use half butter and half oleo) or 3/4 cup oleo (butter is best, but often i use half butter and half oleo)
• 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon dry mustard
• 1 tablespoon molasses
• 1 cup sour cream

Recipe

• 1 soak beans overnight, with plenty of water above the beans. they soak it up!
• 2 in the morning, drain the beans, cover with water, add 1 tsp salt and cook until slightly tender -- 20-30 minutes. however, you must watch these babies, because they have a big tendency to boil over!just bring them to a boil (watching them), then lower the heat --- and still watch them!
• 3 after the beans are cooked, drain again and rinse them under hot water, and place them in a lightly sprayed or greased (oleo) casserole dish.
• 4 dab butter over beans; mix "lightly"! or they get squishy.
• 5 stir in molasses.
• 6 finally, pour in sour cream and mix "tenderly".
• 7 bake at 350 for one hour. (again, keep an eye on them, i don't think i usually bake them for and entire hour).
