This southern-style side is just like what mama used to make. In this video, Ivy makes the potluck favorite of the south with this recipe for lima beans! Otherwise known as butter beans (yes they’re the same thing), southern-style lima beans are a flavorful, starchy veggie that brings everyone running to the dinner table.

00:00These southern style lima beans are just like the ones mama made.
00:04Before y'all come at me on why I'm calling these lima beans and not butter beans,
00:08let's talk about the difference, or, well, lack thereof. In the south, people are more
00:12likely to call them butter beans, especially when they're fresh, and lima beans when they're dried.
00:17When they're from frozen, like I'm making here, that's when people tend to question it. At first,
00:22people really didn't love lima beans way back in the day, so some people started calling them
00:27butter beans because of the texture. That is marketing genius, if you ask me. Anyway,
00:31the name stuck, and that's why people call them butter beans. Either way, they are always delicious.
