I did not use the cream to reduce calories. I cooked the beans in chicken broth for 50 minues then added the sliced, sauted bacon with, 1/2 chopped red onion sauted in bacon grease, 6-8 chopped baby carrots, 3 stalks chopped celery and 2 tsp garlic finely diced,1 t Thyme & 1/2 t Marjoram. Another 25 minues until beans & veggies well done. Served with assorted crackers and fresh peeled, sliced tomatoes. My son ate three bowls!
My daughter is a very picky eater. I made this dish with a side of cornbread and cut up some smoked ham and put into the pot. When we were finishing up eating I noticed that she was using her finger to get out off of the good stuff from her bowl. Yep, I think I will have to make this again, and again, and again, . . .
I found this recipe, tried it, and it is a love-match for life. This is my go-to comfort food. Pure taste bud bliss.
I wish I had made a double batch, true comfort food.
I cooked beans in chicken broth and used less butter and whipped cream. Had some left over spiral ham I diced up. Delicious! There was none left! Must make more!
This is amazing. Because I don't eat meat, in step 2 I cooked slivered almonds in canola oil with a bit of sesame oil. No other changes were made. I will be making this again and again. Thanks for the recipe.
I have never heard of butter beans before and i am very sad i have missed out on this for years. I made this and I must say this is one of the best and easiest things I have ever made. I have made this many times and it's always one of the best comfort foods you can have . really hits the spot
Oh boy, how did I not know about this recipe before?? The taste was impeccable! Rich and flavorful between the bacon, cream, and butter, but the lima beans brought the fiber and nutrition. My only regret is not making extras!
Love love love these butterbeans! They'll be on my table over and over again!
