BUTTER BEAN PIE

Some of the best recipes don’t come from a cookbook. They come from leftovers! Butter Bean Pie is one of those dishes. It’s made with leftover holiday ham, tender butter beans, and simple dumplings dropped right into the pot. Nothing fancy. Nothing complicated. Just good food that stretches what you already have. It's perfect for after the busyness of Christmas.

The ham slowly flavors the broth, the butter beans soak it all in, and the pie crust dumplings turn it into a true one-pot meal. It’s the kind of recipe that doesn’t need exact measurements—just a little time and a lot of heart.
