This meal costs less than $10 to make (even with the dumplings or easy rolls and a fruit) and it feeds my family of 3 for at least 3 meals! This means that it is only $1.11 a meal!!! Whoooo hooo!
I LOVE this recipe and it is sooooo easy - one pan for real! Get a bag of mixed dried beans...I like the Hurst HamBeens Brand 15 bean bag, but your grocery store probably has a generic bag too. Or you can mix it yourself, it should equal one lbs before they are cooked...I like the one with the following:
baby limas
big limas
split peas
kidney beans
pinto beans
northern beans
blackeye peas
garbonzo beans
crannberry beans
pink beans
small red beans
lentils
navy beans
black beans
white kidney beans
You'll need:
1 large onion, chopped
1 tsp chili powder
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 cloves of garlic, minced
salt/pepper
1 tbsp oregano
1. I follow the quick directions on the package and rinse and drain the beans well.
2. I put them in 3qts of water and bring to a boil.
3. When at a rolling boil; reduce heat cover and cook for 60 - 70 min.
4. Add diced ham (or you can add beef, chicken really anything you want or no meat at all), onion, chili powder, lemon juice, garlic, salt & pepper to taste (I usually put in about 3-4shakes of salt and 2 shakes of pepper) and oregano.
5. Cover again and simmer for 30 - 40min.
I like to serve this with some kind of bread...(you don't need to it has plenty of 20g of carbs), but I like it with homemeade dumplings (see Dinner Turned Out Great-Jan 27) or quick rolls (see Quick Easy Bisquick Rolls-Jan 31) and a fruit either homemade applesauce (see What's for Dinner? Boston Butt in the Crock Pot - Jan 21), pinapple chunks etc. (I tried to link these, but am still learning how to do these things...if you know please share!)
