Homemade Pork and Beans Recipe

This simple stovetop dish is set to become your favorite Pork and Beans recipe! Full of delicious sweet and smokey flavors, it's the ideal side to serve at your next backyard BBQ!
Prep Time 8 hours
Cook Time 2 hours
Total Time 10 hours
Servings 16 servings

Ingredients

  • 3 cups dried navy beans
  • water
  • 2 pounds bacon chopped
  • 1 tbsp mustard Dijon recommended
  • 1 tbsp molasses
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 cups ketchup
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tsp salt or to taste

Instructions

  • In a pot, add the beans and some water. Cover and allow to soak overnight.
  • When you are ready to proceed, drain the old water and add more water (enough to cover the beans by one inch).
  • Put the pot on medium-high heat and cook the beans for 1 hour. In the meantime, cook the bacon.
  • In a nonstick skillet, fry the chopped bacon until almost crispy. Drain the excess fat and set aside.
  • Once the beans are cooked, drain the water from the pot. To the same pot, add the rest of the ingredients. Over medium heat, bring to the boil.
  • Reduce the heat to a simmer and leave to cook for one hour, or until the beans are tender.
  • Stir and season to taste. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Any leftover pork and beans can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Otherwise, freeze for up to 2 months.
  • You can also make this recipe in your slow cooker if you have one! Simply add all the ingredients to the cooker and set on low for 8 to 10 hours, or until the beans are tender.
