SLOW COOKER BARBECUE PORK AND BEANS
Pork and beans are cooked together in a slow cooker for mutually beneficial results (If you don't have a slow cooker, you can do it in a pot in the oven.) As the pork shoulder and barbecue sauce braise in the oven, the sauce soaks up the pork juices while the pork tenderizes. Then, beans are added to soak up the deeply concentrated sauce. The recipe uses store-bought barbecue sauce enhanced with the smoky heat of canned chipotles in adobo and brown sugar, which helps glaze the pork. Because every barbecue sauce is different, taste and adjust yours as needed. (For a more acidic sauce, add apple cider vinegar with the beans, or you can increase the sweetness with added sugar.) To serve, slice the pork or shred it into pulled pork.

NORMANDY-STYLE PORK STEW
Inexpensive pork shoulder becomes meltingly tender after a low-and-slow braise in an elixir of dry cider and broth in this stew that's inspired by the pot roasts from the Basque region of Spain that marry pork, apples, and hard cider. This stew will bring the magic of fall right to your home kitchen.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Season pork with salt and pepper. Melt butter in an ovenproof braiser pan, large straight-sided skillet, or wide, shallow pot over medium-high heat. When foam subsides, add pork and cook, turning a few times, until browned all over, 10 to 12 minutes (do not crowd pan; brown in two batches if necessary). Transfer to a plate.
- Add bacon and shallots to pan; reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring a few times, until bacon renders its fat and shallots turn golden brown in places, 6 to 8 minutes. Return pork and any accumulated juices to pan. Sprinkle evenly with flour, stir, and cook 1 minute. Add bay leaf and cider; boil 1 minute. Add broth and return to a boil.
- Cover and transfer to oven; braise 45 minutes. Stir in carrots and celery, cover, and return to oven until pork is fork-tender and carrots are tender but still holding their shape, 1 hour to 1 hour, 15 minutes. Remove and discard bay leaf. Stir in crème fraîche and Dijon. Top with herbs; serve with more crème fraîche and Dijon.
Tips:
- To enhance the flavor of your stew, use high-quality pork. Look for pork shoulder or pork butt, as these cuts have a good amount of fat that will render down and add richness to the stew.
- Soak the pinto beans overnight before cooking. This will help to reduce the cooking time and make the beans more tender.
- If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 1 minute, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
- Be sure to season the stew well. Pork and pinto beans have a mild flavor, so don't be afraid to add plenty of salt, pepper, and other spices.
- For a thicker stew, add a cornstarch or flour slurry. To make a slurry, mix equal parts cornstarch or flour with water until smooth. Then, stir the slurry into the stew and cook until thickened.
- Serve the stew with your favorite sides, such as rice, cornbread, or tortillas.
Conclusion:
Pork and pinto bean stew is a hearty, flavorful, and comforting dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make in a crockpot, and it is a great way to use up leftover pork. This stew is also a good source of protein, fiber, and vitamins. So next time you are looking for a delicious and easy weeknight meal, give this pork and pinto bean stew a try.
