These baked butter beans are zesty with a hint of sweet, and hearty enough to have guests at your BBQ making marriage proposals. The secret ingredients are the steak sauce and celery seed. I make this with bell pepper when serving to a crowd but when it’s just the two of us, I substitute jalapeno pepper for more heat.
