Barbecue Beans
Barbeque Beans from Scratch
Ingredients
- 1 kg Dried Pinto Beans
- 250 g Cooked BBQ pork cut into 1 inch cubes
- 2 x 140 oz cans of plum tomatoes
- 6 cloves Garlic – crushed
- 2 Large onions chopped
- 50 g Brown Sugar
- 2 tbsp Chili powder
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- Hot Pepper Sauce to taste can be omitted
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Soak the beans overnight in a big bowl, covered with water.
- Drain the beans and put them into a large saucepan.
- Cover with at least an inch of fresh water. Bring to boil.
- Fry the onions and garlic. Mix all the ingredients (except the salt – as this will make the beans tough and the pork) add to the beans and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Reduce the heat and continue to simmer for at least 2 hours until the beans are tender. Add the cooked pork in the last 30 minutes of cooking.
- Add more water as needed.
- Season with salt & pepper and hot pepper sauce to taste at the end of cooking.
