It's a frozen tundra here and this hearty stew is cheap and easy way to warm up an fill up. It requires a bit of pre-planning if you're using dried beans but it is so easy to make.
Ingredients
1 ham bone
1 lb dried lima beans, soaked over night
8c water (approx)
Salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, nutmeg, oregano to taste
1 c heavy cream (optional)
Method
In a dutch oven or heavy stock pot, bring water to a boil. Add ham bone and navy beans and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cover for a few hours. Add seasonings to taste. You may need to add more water if it boils off. I added heavy cream before serving but it is optional. Tastes even better overnight. This stew should work well in a slow cooker as well.
