How to Make Bess's Best Butter Beans
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup molasses, 1 cup sour cream (or plain yogurt), 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder.
- Add 2 pounds of fresh or frozen butter beans (or fava beans) to the wet ingredients and stir gently to combine.
- Pour the mixture into a buttered 2-quart casserole dish.
- Cover the casserole dish tightly with foil.
- Bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for another 30 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced but the beans are not dry. The beans should be tender and slightly caramelized.
- If halving the recipe, reduce baking time to approximately 45 minutes total, checking for doneness at 25 minutes.
