Cook butter beans and garlic according to package directions.

Remove and save garlic cloves; drain beans thoroughly.

In a small saucepan, mash the saved garlic cloves well.

Add butter, flour, and seasoning to the mashed garlic.

Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously until bubbly.

Remove from heat and gradually whisk in low-fat milk.

Return to medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened.

Combine the creamy garlic sauce with the drained beans, diced ham, and minced fresh parsley.

Heat thoroughly, ensuring all ingredients are warmed through.
