How to Make Sweet And Tangy Butter Beans

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Spray a 1 ½-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  4. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 1 red bell pepper, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced.
  5. Cook until onions are tender and start to brown, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Remove from heat.
  7. In a large bowl, whisk together the cooked vegetables with 1 (15-ounce) can butter beans, drained and rinsed; 1/2 cup ketchup; 1/4 cup brown sugar; 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar; 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard; ½ teaspoon smoked paprika; ¼ teaspoon salt; and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons water and 2 tablespoons cornstarch until smooth; stir into the bean mixture until well combined.
  8. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
  9. Bake, uncovered, for 1 hour, or until heated through and slightly bubbly.
  10. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
