Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beans

    Soak the dried navy beans in water overnight. Drain and rinse them before cooking.

  2. 2

    Cook the Beans

    In a large pot, combine the soaked beans with 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 1 hour until the beans are tender. Drain and set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the Pork

    In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the pork belly or ham until browned. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large baking dish, combine the cooked beans, pork mixture, brown sugar, ketchup, mustard, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  5. 5

    Bake the Beans

    Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for 2 hours. Remove the foil during the last 30 minutes to allow the top to caramelize.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Southern Pork Baked Beans!
