Baked lima beans in a delicious pimiento cheese sauce.

Servings

10 oz Beans, lima, frozen
1 tbsp Margarine, 80% fat, unsalted
1 tbsp white all purpose flour
1 cup fat free milk
0.5 tsp salt
0.12 tsp black pepper
8 oz canned pimientos, sliced , drained and diced
0.5 cup Cheese, American, pasteurized, processed, low fat, shredded
2 tbsp Ketchup, low sodium
1 canola cooking spray

1 Omitting any salt or fat, cook the beans according to the package directions. Drain, and set aside.
2 In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the margarine and then add the flour, stirring until smooth. Stirring constantly, continue to cook for one minute. Gradually add the milk and cook on medium heat until thickened, constantly stirring. Stir in the salt and the pepper and then remove from the heat.
3 Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and then add the beans, pimiento, cheese, and ketchup to the sauce. Stir well, and then spoon into a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish that has been treated with cooking spray.
4 Bake for 30 minutes, or until heated thoroughly.

Almost all beans are an excellent source of protein, fiber, and vitamins. Since the canned piminetos are drained, sodium content may appear higher than it actually is.
