Dutch Oven Pork and Beans

This is certainly a more sophisticated version of pork and beans than what I ate when I was a kid. This recipe uses thick cut bone in pork chops in a homemade sauce with chickpeas and northern beans for a creamy texture. Plus, it’s a one pot meal for easy clean up. My kids practically licked their plates clean!

Dutch Oven Pork and Beans
2 thick cut bone in pork chops
15 oz can chickpeas - drained
15 oz can northern beans - drained
1/2 large onion chopped
3 cloves garlic chopped
1/2 c. ketchup
1/2 c. bbq sauce
1/4 c. apple cider vinegar
2 T. molasses
1/3 c. brown sugar
2 t. dried mustard
2 t. dijon mustard
1 t. salt
1 T. fresh parsley finely chopped

Step 1: Sear the Chops

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a 12 inch dutch oven add 1 T. olive oil and turn burner on high. (Olive oil is completely optional in this step since the chops have adequate fat but it will add a little nuttiness in the end result.)

Sear chops on both sides until golden brown. Remove from pan. Turn heat to medium high.

This looks really good and I am going to try it. I see you use Bullseye barbecue sauce. It is the best. I also notice Hy-Vee products in your picture. You must be from the Iowa area too. Good luck.
