Tips:

  • Choose the right pork: Pork shoulder or pork butt are the best cuts for this recipe, as they are flavorful and have a good amount of fat, which will help keep the meat moist during cooking.
  • Brown the pork before cooking: Browning the pork in a skillet before adding it to the slow cooker will help develop flavor and add color.
  • Use a variety of beans: This recipe uses a combination of kidney beans, black beans, and pinto beans, but you can use any type of beans you like.
  • Add vegetables for extra nutrition: Feel free to add vegetables to this recipe, such as chopped onions, celery, carrots, or bell peppers.
  • Season the pork and beans to your liking: Add your favorite seasonings to the pork and beans, such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or chili powder.
  • Cook the pork and beans on low for 8-10 hours: This will allow the pork to become tender and the beans to fully cook.

Conclusion:

Pork and beans is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. This recipe is a great way to use up leftover pork, and it's also a budget-friendly meal.
