We love these and have them during the summer when the beans are fresh & at the markets, and during the winter with frozen beans. We like these so much we can make a meal of just these beans with some cornbread!!

How To Make our favorite butterbeans

Step 1

Rinse, and pick through the butterbeans. Place in pot & cover with water about 1" above the beans.

Add remaining ingredients, and bring to a boil, stirring frequently; reduce heat to a simmer.
Step 3

Stir the beans occasionally, and cook for about 1-2 hours, or until the beans are tender and the water is mostly reduced.
