1 pound dried lima beans
4 cups water

Soak lima beans in the 4 cups water overnight in a large stock pot.

In the morning, do not drain, but cook, covered, for 45 minutes in soaking water.

Meanwhile, saute bacon in a large skillet until crispy. Drain off drippings. Break cooked bacon into small pieces.

Add all ingredients to beans in stock pot, mixing well.

Pour into a 3 1/2- to 4-quart baking dish. Cover.
