Betty demonstrates how to make her luscious Leapin' Lima Bean Casserole. This is a great-tasting casserole, and will perhaps get some of your non-vegetable-eating kids (even big kids) to try some healthy Lima beans!
Leapin' Lima Bean Casserole
(2) 10 to 12 oz. packages frozen Lima beans (I used baby Limas, which are more tender and take less cooking time than other types of green Limas.)
1 stick butter or margarine, melted
1 medium onion, chopped
10.75 oz. can condensed cream of mushroom soup
½ green bell pepper, chopped
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Ritz cracker crumbs (approximately 1 inner pack from a box of Ritz crackers, crushed into crumbs)
cooking oil spray
Cook the 2 packages of Lima beans according to package directions, but do not overcook. (Fordhook Lima beans will take longer than baby Lima beans.) Drain Lima beans. In a large mixing bowl, combine the 2 packages of cooked Lima beans with 1 stick melted butter, 1 medium chopped onion, 1 cup shredded cheese, ½ chopped green pepper, and 1 can of cream of mushroom soup. Stir to mix well. Pour mixture into a 13-inch by 9-inch by 2-inch baking dish that has been sprayed with cooking oil spray. Sprinkle Ritz cracker crumbs evenly over the top. Bake at 350 degrees about 20 minutes, or until bubbly and browned on top. Do not overcook. This is a great accompaniment to almost any entrée; also, it's a great potluck dish!

Why this Betty's Leapin' Lima Bean Casserole works for PCOS
Evening meals affect overnight insulin and morning blood sugar more than most women realise. Keeping dinner protein-forward and finishing eating at least 2-3 hours before bed gives your body time to clear glucose before the overnight fast, which improves morning fasting insulin readings.
