For an extra layer of flavor, consider using smoked paprika or a pinch of red pepper flakes. Serve as a side dish or enjoy as a comforting vegetarian main course. Ensure the butter beans are thoroughly drained to prevent a watery dish. Adjust the amount of brown sugar to your preference. Some may prefer a slightly less sweet flavor.
