The first time I shared this dish, it immediately went on the most-requested list for every party and potluck I was invited to. I was happy to oblige because this recipe is super simple. The slow cooker does most of the work. And a handful of other ingredients, including pork and beans straight from a can, does the rest.<\/p>\n<p>No one gets bored with this pork and beans recipe because it\u2019s so easy to change up the flavors. It\u2019s simply a matter of using a different variety of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-bbq-sauces\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-bbq-sauces\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">barbecue sauce<\/a> each time you make the recipe. Or, use a canned pork and beans with a different seasoning profile. My latest favorite to use in this recipe is Hawaiian-style pork and beans (I also add a can of drained pineapple chunks to the slow cooker when I make that version).<\/p>\n<h2>Pork and Beans Ingredients<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Pork loin roast:<\/strong> This lean cut is full of flavor with only a little fat. After slow-cooking the pork loin roast, it becomes extra tender and easy to shred.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Onion: <\/strong>This kitchen staple adds important flavor to this pork and beans recipe. Yellow or Spanish <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/types-of-onions\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/types-of-onions\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">onions<\/a> work best here because of their mild taste.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pork and beans: <\/strong>Canned pork and beans make this dish come together in a snap. Take your pick from the variety you can find at the grocery store. Some common varieties include bacon and brown sugar, spicy and sweet, low-sodium and vegetarian.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Barbecue sauce: <\/strong>This is what gives this pork and beans recipe a boost of flavor. There are plenty of versions to choose from, including spicy, sweet and smoky, Hawaiian style and mustard barbecue sauces.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Brown sugar: <\/strong>Brown sugar adds a depth of molasses flavor to the profile, which won\u2019t be quite the same if white sugar is substituted.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Garlic powder: <\/strong>You can also use three to four minced cloves of garlic, but this recipe is all about easy breezy and garlic powder does the trick.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Put the ingredients in a slow cooker<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2074353\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Pork-and-Beans-Recipe_TOHD24_38035_KristinaVanni_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Taste Recipes Pork and Beans recipe photo of all the ingredients in the slow cooker.\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">KRISTINA VANNI FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Cut the pork roast in half and put it in the bottom of a 5-quart slow cooker.

Cook four slices of thick-cut bacon (I like a low-sodium version) and chop the bacon before stirring it with the beans and barbecue sauce.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make it Mexican-style:<\/strong> I\u2019ve fallen in love with chipotle barbecue sauce, so when I use it in this recipe, I replace one of the cans of pork and beans with a can of black beans. Then I add two chopped jalapeno peppers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Go garlicky:<\/strong> Instead of garlic powder, use four cloves minced garlic.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Pork and Beans<\/h2>\n<p>After cooling, store cooked pork and beans in a tightly covered container for three to four days in the refrigerator or freeze them for up to three months. Reheat in a 350\u00b0F oven until heated through.<\/p>\n<h2>Pork and Beans Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2074356\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Pork-and-Beans-Recipe_TOHD24_38035_KristinaVanni_4.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Taste Recipes Pork and Beans recipe photo of the finished recipe in a serving bowl.\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">KRISTINA VANNI FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>How do you thicken pork and beans?<\/h3>\n<p>I learned this trick from my mom: After you take out the pork to shred, scoop 1 cup cooked beans into a bowl. Mash the beans and stir them back into the slow cooker and let them cook a bit longer. You also can simply remove the slow-cooker lid and continue cooking the pork and beans until some of the cooking liquid evaporates. Many bean dishes thicken as they cool, too, so consider letting the finished dish sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you use any beans to make pork and beans?<\/h3>\n<p>You sure can. I always keep great northern beans in my pantry, so I often add a can of them to this recipe. Yes, that makes a total of four cans of beans. It works! Or, you can replace one can of the pork and beans with a can of almost any bean variety, including navy beans, cannellini beans and kidney beans. Vegetarian beans often have less sugar, so they make a good option too.<\/p>\n<h3>What if I don\u2019t have a slow cooker?<\/h3>\n<p>This pork and beans recipe works on the stovetop too. Combine all the ingredients in a Dutch oven, but put the pork on top of the other ingredients. Spoon some of the pork and beans over the pork. Bring the mixture to a boil and reduce the heat and simmer. Keep the mixture covered until the meat is tender, about three to four hours. Then proceed with the directions for shredding pork.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I like to get this dish started before leaving for work in the morning.
