Recipe of the Week: Mom’s Meatless Friday Recipe, by JAA

This is easy to make and excellent.

Ingredients:

  • 2 quarts of cooked navy beans (undrained)
  • 3 lbs potatoes (fresh is best, but you can substitute canned, though canned potatoes do not store well.)
  • 1/2 stick of butter
  • 3/4 cup of milk
  • Flour

Directions:

  1. You can adjust the portion of beans and potatoes by the number of people that will be at the meal.
  2. To the navy beans add the butter; then separately mix milk and flour together. If there is not enough fluid in beans, add saved water until beans are barely covered. Bring pot to a boil. Then simmer, thickening the beans with flour mixture until it reaches the consistency of runny applesauce. Be careful not to scorch the bottom of the pot.
  3. Slice and fry the potatoes.
  4. Put a goodly portion of the fried potatoes on your plate and smother with the beans.
  5. Salt and pepper to taste.
