I can't figure out what to make as a side dish, we only have a few items left in our pantry, we need to do

grocery shopping. but untill then, for lunch I am cooking up some meat on the stove. What I can I do with uncooked red potatoes, er, canned pork beans, frozen uncooked bacon, canned tomatoe puree, olive oil, dried basil, raw garlic, milk. any ideas? I want something to use up most of these items, but I can only think of single uses for these. some kind of stew? thanks for your help.
