Ingredients
  

  • cup dried navy beans
  • 2 cups water
  • 3 oz salt pork, chopped with rind removed
  • 1 onion, chopped (1 cup)
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, chopped (2 tbsp)
  • 2 cloves garlic minced (1 tbsp)
  • 1 cup chicken bouillon
  • 1 cup sweet and spicy barbecue sauce

Instructions
 

  • Cover beans with 2 cups of water and allow to soak for 6 - 12 hours. Drain and rinse.
  • Saute salt pork and onions in a large saucepan over medium-high heat until onions are tender (5-7 minutes). Add peppers and garlic. Saute until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add bouillon and beans to the saucepan. Turn heat to medium. Cover and simmer for 45-60 minutes or until tender, checking occasionally to ensure there is enough water to keep beans from scorching.  Add more bouillon, if necessary.
  • Add barbecue sauce and simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes or until the sauce is thickened.
  • Hack: Freeze leftover portions sealed in serving-sized portions for future use. Allow to thaw completely in the refrigerator before reheating.
  • Hack: One cup of frozen onions can be substituted for fresh onion in this recipe. Dehydrated onions and/or garlic can also be used.
  • Hack: One 15 oz. can of navy beans, drained and rinsed can be substituted for the dried beans in this recipe.
  • Hack: Feel free to use your favorite white bean in this recipe or whatever you have on hand!
  • Hack: Mix things up by adding your favorite veggies such as bell peppers or carrots.
