Ingredients for Barbecued Butter Beans

  • 1 (15-ounce) can butter beans, drained
  • Ketchup
  • Dark Corn Syrup
  • Liquid Smoke
  • Hot Sauce

How to Make Barbecued Butter Beans

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Spray a 13x9 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  3. Drain one (15-ounce) can of butter beans and add them to the prepared baking dish.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients: 1/2 cup your favorite barbecue sauce, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Pour the barbecue sauce mixture over the butter beans, stirring gently to coat evenly.
  6. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the beans are heated through and the sauce is bubbly and slightly caramelized. Stir halfway through for even cooking and browning.
  7. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
