SOUTHERN BUTTER BEANS RECIPE



Southern Butter Beans Recipe image

This Southern butter beans recipe combines tender and creamy beans with smoky ham for the most flavorful comfort meal.

Provided by Hayley

Time 3h

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb bag of regular lima beans or baby lima beans/butter beans
1 medium onion
2 ham hocks or 1 leftover ham bone, with some meat still on it
2 garlic cloves
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp olive oil

Steps:

  • Now, you can choose to soak the beans overnight if you want, but you really don't have to. Either way, the first step is to wash the beans, and then put them in a large pot. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Boil for 3 to 5 minutes, then turn off the heat, cover and let it sit for 1 hour.
  • After the beans have sat, drain the water and put the beans to the side. Add the oil to the pot and sauté the ham hocks and onions together, until the onion is clear and tender. Then add garlic and sauté about 2 minutes more. Add the beans and cover with water. Add pepper and salt (only about 1 teaspoon of salt at first).
  • Bring to a boil; stir, reduce heat, and cover and simmer for about 2 hours. Keep checking the water level and stirring every once in a while. Add more water if needed. Keep that water just about an inch above the beans. Cook until beans are tender, more salt here is optional. And oh the gravy this makes, oh my... so good! Serve over rice

Time 2h10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 slice bacon, diced
1 onion, minced
1/2 c brown sugar, packed
16 oz package frozen butterbeans
1/4 c butter
12 c water
2 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Cook bacon and onion in a large dutch oven pot over medium heat 5 to 7 minutes. Add brown sugar, and cook, stirring occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes or until sugar is dissolved.
  • 2. Stir in butterbeans and butter until melted and beans are thoroughly coated. Stir in water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; reduce heat to low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, 2 hours or until beans are very tender and liquid is thickened and just below the top of the beans. Stir in salt & pepper. Serves 6-8

Tips:

  • Soak the butterbeans overnight: Soaking the butterbeans overnight helps to soften them and reduce the cooking time. If you don't have time to soak them overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 2 minutes, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for carrots, celery, and onion, but you can also add other vegetables like potatoes, green beans, or corn.
  • Season to taste: The amount of salt and pepper you add to the recipe will depend on your personal preferences. Taste the soup as you cook it and adjust the seasonings accordingly.
  • Serve with a side of bread or crackers: This soup is hearty and filling, so it's perfect for a cold winter day. Serve it with a side of bread or crackers for a complete meal.

Conclusion:

This homestyle butterbeans recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that's perfect for a cold winter day. It's also a great way to use up leftover ham or bacon. With its simple ingredients and hearty flavor, this soup is sure to become a family favorite.
