re: What do I do with butter beans?

Beans in boiler
1tsp salt
1tsp sugar
1tablespoon veg oil

Cover with water

Watch as they will likely try to boil over when they first start boiling, so turn heat down after the boil starts for the first 20 minutes.

Cook 40 - 45 minutes. Add water if needed.

Make cornbread and fry some pork chops.

You'll be a husband hero.
