Crock Pot Butter Beans


So clearly I am not cut out to be a food stylist. But this was really tasty, and crock pot meals are just a blast to come home to. I got big ol' dried butter beans from the store—love the way they plump and get HUGE!—and tossed them in the crock pot with vegetable broth, a bay leaf, some garlic powder, an onion (halved, but removed before serving), and a can of stewed tomatoes. And lots of salt. Then we ate it over toast and it was pretty dang good. Seriously, giant butter beans are just the best. You can really appreciate how creamy and smooth they get in the crock pot!

I'd probably serve this over rice, and with a green salad to make it a more official-seeming dinner.
