Note: I am from California but married and Southerner (and now live in the South). Pork, beans, greens, and sweet potatoes are a way of life in the South. The peanut butter addition is a stew secret courtesy of my husband's grandmother (Granny). Adds the perfect "something something" to the stew. |
