This recipe was from Peggy Mouton. Kenny saw me fixing butterbeans and said he wished I'd fix 'em like Mrs. Mouton. I asked him how she cooked hers and he didn't know, but he sure did like 'em. I called and asked for her recipe. She just laughed and said she didn't have one, but did tell me what she put in 'em. And he was right...they were DELICIOUS!
