If you’ve got a can of butter beans, you’re halfway to dinner already! The ingredient list is a lot of pantry staples (keep them on hand for easy last-minute dinners!): · 2 Tbsp unsalted butter · 4 cloves garlic · 1 tsp Italian seasoning · ½ tsp ground black pepper · ½ tsp smoked paprika · 1 cup vegetable broth · 4 oz cream cheese · 2 15-oz cans butter beans · ½ cup shredded parmesan cheese The full recipe is at the link in my profile (or go here: https://www.liveeatlearn.com/garlic-parmesan-butter-beans/)

If you are in need of a quick high protein vegetarian dinner, look no further than these garlic Parmesan butter beans. They come together in under 20 minutes on the stove. You'll lay down a flavor base with some butter, garlic, and spices. Cream cheese will instantly turn this into a rich and velvety sauce, but you could also use coconut milk here for a vegan version. Then add in that veggie broth and butter beans. Honestly, any bean would be good here. Chickpeas obviously would be amazing. Butter beans are a bit fragile though, so try not to over stir and then right before serving add in some Parmesan. And if you're anything like me, then after tasting this for for the first time, you may do a little happy dance because it is so good. Happy eating.
