Description

Sweet and savory baked beans with tender pulled pork, slow-cooked with the unique flavor of Dr Pepper.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound dried navy beans, rinsed and sorted
  • 6 cups water
  • 1 pound boneless pork shoulder
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 (12 ounce) can Dr Pepper

Instructions

  1. Rinse and sort the navy beans. Place them in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour, or until slightly tender. Drain the beans.
  2. Cut the pork shoulder into large chunks.
  3. In a large slow cooker, combine the drained beans, pork chunks, chopped onion, and minced garlic.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, molasses, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Pour the sauce over the ingredients in the slow cooker.
  5. Pour the can of Dr Pepper over everything in the slow cooker.
  6. Stir gently to combine.
  7. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the pork is very tender and easily shreds.
  8. Remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and stir into the beans.
  9. Cook on high for another 30-60 minutes, uncovered, to allow the sauce to thicken slightly.
  10. Serve hot.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the sauce.
  • You can substitute other types of dried beans like pinto beans or great northern beans.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can remove some of the liquid before returning the shredded pork to the slow cooker.
