How should I season canned butter beans?

Sprinkle a small amount of cinnamon on them.

Warm them in a skillet with butter and some chopped onion, maybe a bit of garlic too.

aYou may be the only person i know who, when wanting to increase her caloric intake, chooses beans. Layer them over maple walnut ice cream or cheese cake.

Add a little molasses to them right before you take them off the heat.

I just throw some pepper on ‘em.

@gailcalled Ha! I’m losing weight by eating better, but I don’t like to go under a certain number of calories. 200 calories of cheesecake makes me feel guilty; 200 calories of beans doesn’t. Some might say they’re the same, but not all calories are created equal. I watch carbs, sugar, and sodium as well.

If you’re worried about health I’d check for frozen ones, then; canned stuff is usually loaded with sodium.

@mrentropy I’m staying under my sodium goal even with the canned. I checked. Plus, no time for the grocery store.

I would add a dash of hot sauce.

You don’t need to add anything to them, they’re fantastic right out of the can. That’s why they call ‘em butter beans : )

I added a bit of pepper and a dash of garlic powder. Pretty good. :)

Thanks everyone.

Holy crap! Much respect for your self-discipline, @livelaughlove21!

@hearkat Why thank you. :) You wouldn’t say that if you saw me on a Saturday, though. I work hard all week so I can enjoy a free day. It helps me keep my sanity without sabotaging my progress. Yay for cheat day!

Bacon grease.
