Sauté onions in butter or oil. When onions are almost clear add mushrooms, tomato, and garlic. Cook until mushrooms color changes. Add flour and cook until color turns. (Not a roux but just enough to cook the flour) Add stock and spice. Simmer for 1-2 hrs — until liquid thickens to gravy. Add beans and increase heat to medium. Turn off heat at roiling boil. Let stand 10 minutes.
