Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the Pork over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
Add the Aromatics to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Combine all Sauce ingredients in a bowl and pour over the pork and onions.
Add the Beans to the pot and stir to combine.
Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for at least 60 minutes, or up to 90 minutes, stirring occasionally. The sauce should thicken and the pork should be tender.
Serve hot.
