“This is a fantastic way to prepare butter beans, which are full of nutrition and low in fat,” advises Grace Malone of Lafayette, Colorado. “It's great as a side but filling enough to be the main course.”

    My husband and I love this recipe. As the previous reviewer notes, this is not a spicy dish, but the sauce is wonderful. It is great with macaroni and cheese and cornbread.
