Lima Bean Casserole

Lima Bean Casserole is creamy and cheesy and loaded with lima beans. This is your basic canned soup, crunchy topping, southern casserole. It’s surprisingly good!

A Unique Southern Casserole

Southerners are famous for making a casserole out of anything, even pineapple.

If you’re looking for a different casserole to serve with your holiday meal, this Lima Bean Casserole is totally easy. Just cook some frozen lima beans and mix in a can of  condensed cream of celery soup. You could use cream of mushroom instead if you like it better.

I also add in a small jar of diced pimentos. They add a little flavor and give the casserole a festive touch. Some onion that has been cooked in a little butter and a whole bunch of cheddar cheese also help flavor the casserole. Cuz let’s face it. Lima beans don’t have a whole lot of flavor on their own.

More cheddar cheese and some crushed Ritz crackers go on top. You could also do a French-fried onion topping.

Variations

• Add some crumbled, cooked bacon for a little smoky flavor.
• For a little spice, add 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper.
• Use condensed cream of chicken soup or condensed cream of mushrrom soup instead of celery.
• Add a 1/2 cup of French Fried Onions to the topping.
