An easy recipe for the most delicious and creamy butter beans! The beans are simply flavored with garlic and dried herbs, but they pack so much flavor.

Butter beans (also called lima beans) are utterly delicious in simple recipes like this Greek gigantes plaki. The creamy butter bean recipe I am sharing here is probably even simpler but just as delicious. So delicious, in fact, that you might be scooping the beans out of the pot with your fingers to eat them. Just sayin'.

These butter beans work beautifully as a side to nearly any entree, or they can do heavy duty as a main dish on their own, with a side of crusty bread. Try 'em and be sure to let us know in the comments below!
