Move over Marry Me Chicken because we’re keeping things meat free but still absolutely DELICIOUS and packed with flavor with these Marry Me Butter Beans! SO GOOD you’ll be getting marriage proposals. AND, it all comes together in one big skillet.
I’ve made a few different versions of this recipe but I have to say, this one is definitely my favorite! The rich creaminess of the butter beans just lends itself SO WELL to this dish.
But if you’re interested, my Marry Me Tofu and Marry Me Chickpeas are also DELICIOUS as well!
Ingredients:
- Butter Beans– I’ve made this recipe with chickpeas but I love it so much more with the butter beans. Their creamy texture lends itself so well to this dish!
- Olive oil & Butter– these are part of what gives the sauce so much flavor and creaminess
- Lots of Garlic– feel free to add more or less garlic according to your preferences!
- Veggie broth– I used a simple veggie broth base to bulk up the sauce and add extra flavor.
- Heavy cream– this is what makes the sauce thick and creamy! You could use coconut milk or a dairy-free cream/ milk is you want to make this recipe vegan.
- Parmesan Cheese– Much of the flavor in this sauce comes from the cheese. Add as little or as much as you’d like! Violife makes a delicious vegan parmesan if you want this recipe to be vegan!
- Sun-dried tomatoes– these are classic to the dish and part of what gives it a Tuscan inspired taste.
As usual, PLEASE let me know if you make this recipe and how you like it! You can come back here and leave a comment and/or tag me on instagram (@foodwithfeeling).
