  • Using a slow cooker: Using a slow cooker is a great way to achieve tender, flavorful baked butter beans without having to babysit the pot.
  • Adding flavor: Experiment with different seasonings and aromatics to enhance the flavor of the beans. Common additions include garlic, onion, celery, thyme, and bay leaves.
