Ingredients
5 bacon slices, diced

1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 (16-oz.) pkg. frozen butterbeans
1/4 cup butter
3 cups of water
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cracked pepper
Directions
Cook bacon in a large Dutch oven over medium heat 5 to 7
minutes
Remove bacon pieces with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Remove all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease. (Reserve extra drippings
for another use.) Add onions and sauté until tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
Add brown sugar, and cook, stirring occasionally, 1 to 2
minutes or until sugar is dissolved.
Stir in butterbeans, bacon, and butter until butter is
melted and beans are thoroughly coated.
Stir in 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat;
reduce heat to low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, 1 hour or until beans
are very tender and liquid is thickened and just below the top of the beans. Stir in
salt and pepper. Serve with a slotted spoon.
