And there's many a redneck farmer's wife who's learned to turn lima beans into ambrosia.

Please excuse the recipe, but this is how rednecks prepare lima beans and corn:

Cover three strips of bacon and 16 ozs. of frozen or fresh butter beans with water and cook it all at a slow boil till the beans are just about tender. If you're living dangerously (and well), throw in some real butter, too.

Add some fresh-shucked (or frozen) corn-off-the-cob.
And also add at least one tablespoon--but two is better--of sugar. If you can't tolerate sugar, Splenda is a good substitute.

Let all that slow-boil cook for about three or so minutes.

Even tsuwm would change his tuwn if he had a bite of that perfectly-constructed-amino-acid-chain Redneck beans and corn. No joke. Rednecks tend not to call it succotash although that's what it really is. They just like callin' it butter beans and corn.

Don't add any slugs. [See title of the thread.] Bill wouldn't eat with you if you did.

Butterbean regards,
