Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pound kielbasa, cut into 1/2-inch rounds
1 medium onion, diced (about 1 cup)
1/3 cup tomato paste
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon chopped chipotle in adobo

1/4 cup pickle relish

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler to high with a rack set 2-inches from the heat source.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the kielbasa rounds, cut-side down, and cook until browned, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook for 1 minute more. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Cook the remaining rounds until both sides are browned. Add to the plate. Reduce the heat to medium, add the onion, and cook, stirring, until soft and slightly browned, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the tomato paste, brown sugar, vinegar, and chipotle to the onion. Pour half a can of beans (including the bean liquid) into the skillet and mash with a fork until creamy. Then add the rest of the beans (including the bean liquid), the cooked kielbasa, 1/2 cup water, 1 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of pepper. Simmer until thick and creamy, about 20 minutes.
  • Toss the hot dog bun cubes with the melted butter on a baking sheet and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Broil until toasted and browned, flipping occasionally, about 2 minutes.
  • Divide the kielbasa and beans among 4 bowls. Top evenly with the hot dog bun croutons and pickle relish.

EASY BAKED BEANS



Easy Baked Beans image

I have been making this for almost 40 years. The original recipe calls for all ketchup; it was my idea to make that half ketchup and half barbeque sauce. I do love spicy. I have never had a baked bean recipe that was this good and also this easy. Nobody will know you didn't spend all day on it.

PORK AND BEANS WITH GARLIC AND GREENS



Pork and Beans with Garlic and Greens image

Like other commonplace ingredients, beans too often fail to get their culinary due. Prepared with a little care, they can be as good in their own way as caviar, with subtly distinct, satisfyingly earthy flavors and a texture perfectly pitched between tenderness and chew. This recipe provides a classy twist on the typical view of pork and beans and even includes the use of that ubiquitous green, kale.

Provided by John Willoughby

Categories     project, side dish

Time 3h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound white or cannellini beans, soaked overnight or quick-soaked
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound boneless pork butt, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 onion, sliced
12 to 15 peeled whole garlic cloves
1 cup chopped tomatoes
2 cups thinly sliced kale or mustard greens
2 tablespoons grainy mustard
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
About 1 quart chicken stock

Steps:

  • Drain and rinse the soaked beans, then heat the oven to 350.
  • Heat the oil in a 6-quart Dutch oven or other large, heavy pot over medium-high until hot but not smoking. Add the pork and brown well on all sides, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the pork from the pot, add the onion and sauté, stirring occasionally until translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté, stirring frequently, 1 minute.
  • Add the pork, along with the beans, tomatoes, greens, mustard, salt and pepper and enough chicken stock to cover. Stir well and bring the mixture to a simmer.
  • Cover and transfer the pot to the oven and bake until the beans are tender, 2 1/2 to 3 hours, checking every half-hour or so after the first hour and adding water as needed if all the liquid has been absorbed.

ONE-POT BARBECUE PORK AND BEANS



One-Pot Barbecue Pork and Beans image

Two beloved barbecue staples are cooked together in one pot (or a slow cooker) for mutually beneficial results. As the pork shoulder braises, the pork juices flavor the barbecue sauce and the sauce tenderizes the pork. Beans are then 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. (To mimic a North Carolina-style sauce, add apple cider vinegar with the beans, or yellow mustard for a South Carolina-style sauce, or even gochujang and soy sauce for a Korean-inspired take.) To serve, slice the pork or shred it into pulled pork. Cornbread, biscuits or Texas toast are great additions.

Time 4h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 to 3 1/2 pounds boneless pork shoulder, trimmed of more than 1/4-inch fat
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup store-bought or homemade barbecue sauce
1 canned chipotle in adobo, finely chopped, plus more to taste
3 tablespoons light brown sugar, plus more to taste
1 large yellow onion, peeled and coarsely chopped
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 cups chicken broth or water
2 (14-ounce) cans pinto beans (not drained)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Season the pork all over with 1 tablespoon salt and 3/4 teaspoon pepper. In a large Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high. Add the pork shoulder and sear until browned on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes. Spoon out all but 1 or 2 tablespoons of fat.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl or measuring cup, stir together the barbecue sauce, chipotle and brown sugar. Taste, and add more brown sugar or chipotle, as needed.
  • Add the onion and garlic to the oil in the Dutch oven, season with salt and pepper and stir to coat. Cook over medium-high until the onions are softened, just 1 minute. Spoon the barbecue sauce over the pork, seeking to cover all exposed sides. Pour the chicken broth over the onion and garlic.
  • Cover and transfer to the oven, basting the pork with the sauce every 30 minutes or so until the pork falls apart when prodded with a fork, 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Open the cans of beans and drain and rinse one of the cans. When the pork is tender, add 1 can of beans and its liquid along with the rinsed beans; stir to combine. Cook, uncovered, in the oven until the pork is glazed and the beans are warmed through, about 20 minutes.
  • Transfer the pork to a cutting board, then season the beans to taste with salt and pepper. Slice the pork against the grain into 1/2-inch-thick slices, or shred the pork with two forks. Serve the pork with the beans right out of the pot.

HOMEMADE PORK AND BEANS, SLOW COOK METHOD (GF)



Homemade Pork and Beans, Slow Cook Method (Gf) image

I like this recipe because its simple and quick and a good way to empty out those ketchup bottles! Once it is put together in the cooker you can forget about it until supper. I serve this with toast and a salad. The leftovers are frozen and added to homemade chili. For those on gluten free diets, please make sure all your ingredients are GF.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 5h8m

Yield 16-18 cups, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 -4 cups raw dried navy beans, cover with
8 -12 cups cold water, and soak overnight
3 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon molasses or 1 tablespoon corn syrup
2 teaspoons prepared mustard
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 cups ketchup
1 tablespoon soya sauce (optional)
3 cups water
1/4-1/2 lb bacon, slices raw

Steps:

  • If your beans have soaked overnight, Add enough HOT water to cover beans by about an inch.
  • Stir.
  • Cover.
  • Cook on High 1 hour or longer until beans are tender.
  • Beans need to be tender before you add the other ingredients otherwise it is hard to cook them to the soft stage.
  • Drain.
  • If you forgot to do this step then, place 4 cups beans into slow cooker.
  • Add at least 10 cups hot water, cover.
  • Cook on High for 2 hours.
  • Test a bean - they should be soft/tender BEFORE adding remaining ingredients.
  • Drain.
  • Put remaining ingredients into slow cooker.
  • Stir gently.
  • Cover and cook: On Low for 8 to 10 hours or on High for 4 to 5 hours.

Tips:

  • To enhance the dish's flavor, use top-notch ingredients like high-quality pork and beans. Look for fresh, plump beans and pork that is well-marbled.
  • For a smoky flavor, use smoked sausage or bacon. You can also add a dash of liquid smoke or smoked paprika.
  • Don't skimp on the seasonings. Pork and beans are a blank canvas for flavor, so feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices. Common additions include garlic, onion, bell pepper, chili powder, cumin, and paprika.
  • For a thicker sauce, mash some of the beans before adding them to the pot. You can also add a cornstarch or flour slurry.
  • Serve pork and beans with your favorite sides. Some popular options include cornbread, mashed potatoes, and coleslaw.

Conclusion:

Pork and beans is a hearty, flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover pork.
