I’d just add the corn right along with the butterbeans. Corn holds up well to long, slow cooking.

Love butterbeans!! I want to make this but add corn to it for a simpler succotash? Any suggestions on how to incorporate that in?

Having family over Monday for Labor Day and I will be using your butter bean recipe for the frest ones I picked up today from the market. I will let you know how they turn out. Thanks

Sure. However, I used the butter substitute just to cut down on calories. If I wasn’t going to use the butter substitute, I’d add bacon grease instead of butter.

A quick question – Can I use butter vs the butter substitute?

I love using the slow cooker for butter beans and for field peas. Hope you enjoy the recipe!
