My mother cooked green beans in butter and milk as well. Only done with nice fresh beans from the garden and almost always a mix of yellow and green string beans. Always seemed a little fancy as we each got an extra little bowl to put them in. We called them, "butter beans."
Edited to add that they weren't creamed. No thickener.
