Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Those who shy away from lima beans may like their subtle flavor in this hearty stew. If you prefer, you can substitute butter beans or sweet soybeans.
  • tip 2
    To ensure even cooking, be sure to cut the pork into pieces of the same size.
  • tip 3
    The pork and sweet potatoes can be cut the night before, wrapped separately in plastic wrap or plastic food-storage bags and refrigerated.
