                    From my collection of handwritten recipes 1970-84. Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                1 1/2 cups water  |  
                                                1 teaspoon salt  |  
                                                3 (10 ounce) packages frozen lima beans  |  
                                                3 medium green peppers, cut into strips  |  
                                                1/4 lb bacon  |  
                                                1 tablespoon brown sugar  |  
                                                1 teaspoon dry mustard  |  
                                                1 tablespoon molasses  |  
                                                1 (16 ounce) can stewed tomatoes  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. Heat water and salt to boiling. Add lima beans and green pepper strips. Heat to boiling, reduce heat. Cover and simmer until tender, about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside. Cook bacon, cut in 1/2  pieces, until limp but not brown. Stir in brown sugar, dry mustard, molasses and stewed tomatoes. Cook over low heat 5 minutes. Mix all together and pour into 2 quart casserole; cover. May be prepared to this point and refrigerated the day before. Bake until hot, 30-40 minutes.                              |
