Southern Butter Beans with Bacon
Butter beans are my all-time favorite vegetable (other than fried okra). I'd rather have a bowl of fresh butter beans than any other vegetable.
But, fresh butter beans can sometimes be expensive and difficult to find during cooler seasons.
That’s why my favorite butter beans are from Pictsweet Farms. You can find them in the frozen section.
They’re delicious and allow me to keep fresh tasting vegetables on my table all year long.
