📝 INGREDIENTS
- 4 bone-in pork chops
- 2 cans (15 oz each) pinto beans or white beans, drained
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar (optional)
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
👩🍳 INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1: Season the pork chops
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
Step 2: Prepare the sauce
In a bowl, mix the chicken broth, barbecue sauce, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, chopped onion, and brown sugar until well combined.
Step 3: Add the beans
Place the drained beans in the bottom of your slow cooker. Pour in half of the prepared sauce and stir gently.
Step 4: Add the pork chops
Arrange the seasoned pork chops on top of the beans. Pour the remaining sauce over the meat, making sure everything is coated.
Step 5: Slow cook
Cover and cook on LOW for approximately 4–6 hours or on HIGH for 2–3 hours, depending on the thickness of the pork chops and your slow cooker. Cook until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C), then allow it to rest for at least 3 minutes. For fall-apart tender meat, additional cooking may be needed.
Step 6: Serve and enjoy
Spoon the rich, savory beans and sauce onto a serving plate. Add the tender pork chops on top, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm with cornbread, rice, or mashed potatoes. 😋
