The BBT gets its naming style from the BLT sandwich: It's a bean, bacon, and tomato bake bouncing with bountiful flavors! The lima beans are creamy and hearty, the tomato bright and juicy, and the bacon salty, meaty, and, well, bacon-y! Notes of sweetness and fragrant garlic add new dimensions to the savory mix, making it endlessly delicious and just the thing to make again and again. Packed with protein, the BBT is home-cooking at its most endearingly nurturing!
