oops Romeo...
the Internet provides a wide array of cheap and easy recipes, but since this site is about travel, cultural exchange and kick-ass guns, I'll give you a jummy low-price and traditional dish. In fact it pre-dates the discovery of the New World, but I've chosen the more modern variant, containing potatoes instead of beans.
Take equal parts potatoes and apples, 1 kg each for a family dinner. Half the apples should be a sweet variant, other half should be a sour variant. You'll also need bacon, nutmeg, poepper and salt.
Boil peeled potatoes and mash 'em. Add salt to taste.
Bake peeled and sliced (not too thin) apples in a thick-bottomed pot with some butter. Stir regularely so they don't burn. They'll dissolve but try and keep it chunky.
Mix potato mash and still hot apple 'gloop'. Add baked bacon bits and drippings. Season with pepper, nutmeg and salt to taste. Mix well.
In the old days, a more festive variant would include a piece of baked blood sausage on top. Might be hard to find, esp the good kind.
Decent, honest winter food.
