Ingredients
- 2 thick-cut slices bacon, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch wide strips
- 1 (12-ounce) small ham steak, diced
- 2 cups fresh corn kernels (from 2 to 3 ears), or 1 (10-ounce) package frozen corn, thawed
- 1 pound fresh lima beans in pods, shelled (1 1/2 cups), or 1 (10-ounce) package frozen baby lima beans, thawed
- 1 bunch scallions, cut crosswise into 1/3-inch pieces, white and pale green parts separate
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Directions
Cook the bacon in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring frequently until crisp, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to paper towels to drain, leaving the fat in the pan. Add the ham and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add the corn, lima beans and the white parts of the scallions and cook, stirring, about 2 minutes. Add 1/2 cup water, scraping up the brown bits on the bottom of the pan. Simmer until the vegetables are tender and most of the water has reduced, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in the bacon, scallion greens and season with salt and pepper.
BYOC: Try adding some red or orange peppers for some extra color.

This recipe was awesome. I don't eat meat so I left it out and people still liked it.

Very good and quick dinner for weeknights. I used fresh corn cut off the cob and frozen lima beans. I also used Boar's Head Virginia Smoked ham slices from the deli, sliced thick and then chopped into bite size pieces. Everyone in my family loved this and I served with mashed potatoes and water rolls with butter. Very quick and easy but tastes great!

This was UNBELIEVABLE !!! As a single guy I love easy...bacon...ham. I used a reviewer's suggestion of 1/2 cup chicken stock instead of water ....WOW!...too good! I'm making this again to impress my dates. (be careful of adding salt due to high salt in bacon
