Heart Smart Healthy Exchanges p.118
You know how good it feels to go home and have Mom cook all your favorite dishes for you? Well, we don't get to visit our moms as often as we'd like, but recalling those good feelings with every bite of these flavorful green beans brings her close to us in spirit!
1 full cup (6 ounces) diced Dubuque 97% fat-free ham or any extra-lean ham
5 cups frozen or fresh cut green beans
3 cups (15 ounces) diced raw potatoes
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
3/4 cup water
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 or 3 drops Tabasco Sauce
In a large saucepan sprayed with butter-flavored cooking spray, saute ham until browned. Add green beans, potatoes, onion, and water. Mix well to combine. Bring mixture to a boil. Stir in black pepper and Tabasco sauce. Continue cooking until beans and potatoes are tender and most of liquid is absorbed.
