Delicious indeed!
This is a great recipe! I have made this a few times, and it always turns out perfectly. I made this for christmas dinner, and this dish received rave reviews. Definitely a great, basic recipe.
This recipe doesn’t say what to turn the burner to… med, low, med-low, med-high??
Simple, perfect and fresh tasting. Just the way my family likes and has made them forever. Tip of the hat to the lady for sharing such a classic yet humble and simple dish 🙂
Delicious!
Butter beans are white….NOT. Green
