CREAMY Butter Beans in Onion Sauce | Quick & EASY One-Pan Recipe

These creamy butter beans in onion sauce are packed with flavors, made with basic everyday ingredients, and done in just 30 minutes. Serve them as a side next to some pan-grilled fish or even as a main course. Either way, they promise to fill you with so much goodness.

To make this recipe, I used jarred butter beans. Which are the same thing as the canned ones. If you can’t find butter beans in your area, you can use other types of white beans. You can also use dried butter beans. Just soak them overnight in plenty of water and then simmer them the following day for 1 to 2 hours or until tender.

To make the onion sauce, I used homemade vegetable broth. However, chicken broth or beef broth can also be used. To flavor the sauce, I used dried oregano and dried thyme. You can mix it up and use different herbs. As well as some crushed red pepper flakes to add a spicy kick.

TIPS & TRICKS to Make this Recipe: You can serve these butter beans warm or even at room temperature. they will hold for up to 3 to 4 days in the fridge in an airtight container. When reheating, just add in some more milk or broth to bring back the creaminess.
