Creamy Lemon Garlic Butter Beans is delicious as side dish or as an appetizer served with sliced toasted baguette for dipping.

- Prep: 5 mins
- Cook: 15 mins
- Yields: 4 Servings
Directions
1Add the butter to a large pot and melt over medium heat
2Once the butter is melted and sizzling, add in the shallots and garlic. Stir together and sauté for about 3 minutes.
3Add the two cans of butter beans including the liquid from the cans. This makes the beans really creamy, so do not strain them. Stir together and bring the beans to a simmer. Once simmering, cook for about 5 minutes to reduce some of the liquid and cook the beans.
4Next, add the cream cheese, lemon juice, and lemon zest to the pot. Stir until mixed. Then, bring the pot of beans back to a simmer. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
5Turn off the heat and add in the spinach. Stir together until the spinach has wilted. Then, season with salt & pepper to your liking and remove from the heat.
6Serve while warm with a big slice of toasted bread.
