Homemade Pork and Beans
Description
This recipe for Homemade Pork and Beans starts with cubed country-style boneless pork ribs and thick-cut bacon, which are browned together to render fat and deepen flavor. Diced onions are cooked until softened, then combined with a sauce consisting of ketchup, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, black pepper, and water. Canned pinto beans are added to the mixture and the whole pot is baked low and slow in the oven at 300 degrees Fahrenheit, or alternatively cooked in a slow cooker on low for 4 to 6 hours. This slow cooking process allows the pork to become tender and absorb the sauce's sweet and tangy notes, while the beans soak up the flavors and add hearty texture. The resulting dish is thick, rich, and well balanced between smoky pork and a mildly sweet, spiced sauce, suitable as a main course or side.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds country-style boneless pork ribs , or boneless pork butt
- 1 pound Bacon thick cut slices
- 1 medium yellow onion diced
- 2 cups ketchup
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup water
- 3 (16 ounce cans) pinto beans undrained, or cannelini or navy beans
Instructions
- Dice 1 1/2 pounds country-style boneless pork ribs into 2-inch cubes, trimming off any hard pieces of fat. Then dice 1 pound thick cut bacon slices into 1-inch pieces.
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. You'll need a large oven-safe pot with lid for this recipe or a regular pot combined with a 2 to 3-quart casserole dish with lid or use aluminum foil to cover.
- Heat a large oven-safe pot over medium-high heat. Add in bacon and cubed pork and cook until it starts to render out the fat and brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. If preferred, you can use a spoon to remove some of the excess fat from the pan. Be sure to leave at least 3 tablespoons of the fat.
- Add in 1 medium diced yellow onion and continue to cook until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and add in 2 cups ketchup, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 cup water. Add in 3 (16 ounce cans) pinto beans and stir to combine until everything is well mixed and coated.
- Place the lid on the oven-safe pot, or transfer this mixture to an ungreased 2 to 3-quart casserole dish and cover with a lid or aluminum foil.
- Cook in the preheated 300℉ oven for 2 1/2 to 3 hours until the pork is tender enough to shred with a fork. Serve hot.
Notes
- You can slow cook this recipe by transferring all ingredients into a 5 to 7-quart slow cooker and cooking on low for 4 to 6 hours instead of baking.
