Sort and soak beans overnight; drain and discard soak water. In a 4-quart pot, sauté onion in butter or marg until tender but not browned.

Remove 1 cup beans from stew, mash in a bowl with potato masher or fork. Add mashed beans to stew; stir to thicken. Remove ham and dice. Remove bay leaves and red pepper, if used and discard.

Add diced meat, green pepper and rum (if desired) to beans. Cover and simmer 15 minutes. Serve beans over rice and top with sour cream if desired.
