Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds country-style boneless pork ribs , or boneless pork butt
- 1 pound thick cut bacon slices
- 1 medium diced yellow onion
- 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
- Slow Cooker Option
- Want to keep the oven off? Once you're ready to place your pot into the oven, transfer everything to a 5 to 7-quart slow cooker instead. Cover and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours.
