Beefy Butter Beans

Butter beans are cooked with lean ground beef and seasonings.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb. lean ground beef
• 2 cans butter beans (15 ounces each)
• 1 lg. onion, chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1/2 green pepper, chopped
• 1 rib celery, chopped
• 1/4 c. cooking oil
• 1/3 c. all-purpose flour
• Salt & pepper to taste
• 2 or 3 c. water

Preparation:

Saute ground meat in skillet, drain grease and set aside. In heavy saucepan add oil, when it becomes hot (but not smoking) add the flour to make roux. Stir quickly and constantly to avoid burning. Lower heat when roux starts to turn brown, stirring constantly. When roux is a dark brown color and becomes shiny, add the onion, green pepper, celery and garlic. Cook on low heat until vegetables are tender. Add the beans, ground meat, and some of the water. Cook on medium high heat for about 1 hour adding more water as needed. Serve on rice or mashed potatoes. Serves 6.
