Lima Bean and Tomato Casserole image

from loyalty cookbook 1953 it calls for sugar in recipe i wouldn't use it but the option is there for you and i think you could use frozen beans and not need to cook them up but if you are cooking up a pot of beans this gives you a different meal to use .and i think this could be a frozen make ahead meal pretty easily
