BBQ pork and beans. (video)

I have done this recipe different and i like it 10x more- if you look at the color difference between tonights meal and the previous you can see how much darker and richer it is.

here are the ingredients and directions:

3 country style pork ribs (1 pound)
4 pieces of bacon
1 cup water
1 bottle (18oz) BBQ sauce
2 Tbl. dried onion flakes
2 shakes liquid smoke
1 Tbl. vinegar
1 Tbl. brown sugar
2 cans (28oz ) baked beans
1 squirt of mustard (yellow)

I cut the bacon into small hunks, put them and the rest of the ingredients in the crock pot and cooked on low for 6-8 hours. An hour before i was ready to serve I took the pork and beans out of the crock pot, at this point i pulled the pork (shredded) and remove the fat etc. and then placed it all  in a glass baking dish and cooked in a 300 degree oven for an hour.


Pork and Beans (FIRST go round):

This is my way of making a full meal with a few ingridents- I really like the way the house smells all day while it is cooking too!

This is what you will need:

1+ pound of bonless porkchops thin
4 slices bacon (raw)
3 cans of pork and beans (not baked beans)

the sauce is:
1/4 c brown sugar
1/2 cup ketchup
1 tsp mustard
1 tbs vinager
2 tbl onion flakes
3 shakes of liquid smoke

*simply mix the sauce ingriedent together

What i did was put the pork chops in the crock pot and cooked them on low with about a 1/2 cup of water for 6 hours.

For the beans- I cut the bacon into chunks and added them to the beans in a deep baking dish, and then poured the sauce over... and mixed it all together! cover it with foil and baked it at 250 for 6 hours- stirring every once in a while.

for the last hour of cooking i put the porkchops into the beans and cooked 1 hour uncovered at 300.

If this seems like a long time to cook a meal... you can increase temp and cook all of these ingridents together at 350 for 1 1/2 hour uncovered...Or.. you could put this in your crockpot before work and cook it on low (you would probably have to add a little more water). It was -6 here with a high of 1 so i enjoyed the extra heat from my oven!! And did i mention how GREAT it smells... oh yeah i did!!

For sides tonight I made a quick cornbread, and some deviled eggs. A big glass of Milk and dinner is served!
