re: What do I do with butter beans?

I would render a couple slices of bacon and saute an onion and a couple cloves of garlic in the bacon drippings, add a pre-soaked pound of beans and fry your beans down for about 20 mins, stirring, to "cook the green out" then add only one cooked tomato from a can of cooked tomatoes.. add couple cups of chicken stock and salt, black and red pepper, bring to a boil, then reduce your fire to low and cover, stirring occassionaly and until your beans come to the thickness you want..
