3 Tbs. canola oil
all-purpose flour seasoned with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper
1 1/2 lbs lean pork, cut into small cubes
1 medium onion, diced
2 cups chicken broth
2 lb. fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into 2″ pieces (or 2 cups frozen green beans)
6 potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 tsp. gravy darkener (optional)

Dredge cubed pork in seasoned flour and brown well in oil. When pork is browned to your satisfaction, add onion and saute until softened, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add chicken broth.

Cover pot; bake at 325-degrees for about 40 minutes. Add green beans and potatoes and bake for another hour or more, until everything is nice and tender. If frozen green beans are used, add them when potatoes are about half cooked. (I think you could also put everything into a crock pot and let it cook all day.)

Darken gravy if you wish. If the dish is a bit dry, add more broth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm with crusty bread for an easy dinner.
