This is just something I put together last night with some chunks of pork and a melange of what was in the fridge. I wasn't expecting much, but when it finished up I have to say I was more than pleasantly suprised. It goes a little something like this:
1.5# Pork loin chunked into 1/2 inch cubes
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
2 Medium Yellow Onions - diced
1 Head of Fresh Garlic - minced
1 Sweet Pepper - diced
2 Carrots - diced
2 Stalks Celery - diced
3 Strips of Bacon - chopped finely
2 Cups Chicken Stock
1 Teaspoon Crushed Rosemary
1 Pinch of Dried Tyme
1 Splash of Red Wine Vinegar
1 Small Pinch of Crushed Red Pepper
1 Cup of Large Lima Beans
Salt & Pepper to taste
Throw the Pork,Vegetables & Bacon into the pot with the olive oil and saute it all up until the pork is more than 1/2 way cooked through. Add your Stock & Lima Beans (cooked, if you have to use canned ones). Let that work itself together and then toss in your spices and the vinegar and let it simmer for a few minutes with the top on. I can't really tell you how long. I can accurately say that it is long enough to: rearrange some furniture, knock a plant off of the table and onto the floor, get yelled at by my wife, & build a small wall with Legos. However long that is, is exactly the right amount. Serve in Bowls & and finish with a small scoop of sour cream if you are feeling it. Voila, Dinner is served.

Some of the best dinners I've cooked were one pot meals made up of kitchen "scraps".
Hey, I like your recipe style! Who has the attention span to time things to the minute! Hehehe. Two lego walls -- now that I can do. :)
