My friends who raise pork will love this recipe. One of my new friends that raises pork is Standing Oaks Enterprises from Ohio you can find a link to their Facebook page here. If you are looking for more pork recipes, you might also check out the Kansas Pork Association's Facebook page here. Be sure to tell them A Kansas Farm Mom sent you.
Here is why I love this recipe and I think you will too:
- It takes very little prep work and practically cooks itself.
- It uses pork roast, which is one of those cheaper cuts of pork to buy.
- Mom's of growing kids and athletes should like it because it is packed with protein using pork and pinto beans.
- My kids love it because they think they are getting nachos for supper.
- It can be cooked on the stove top, oven or Crockpot. I prefer the oven, but only in the winter when I don't mind heating up the house.

1 pound dried pinto beans
2-3 pounds pork roast

1-2 tablespoons dried crushed red pepper
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon ground oregano

Sort beans and wash thoroughly. In a large Dutch oven, combine beans, roast,
and spices. Add enough water to cover
the roast and beans.

as needed. Remove roast from Dutch oven;
cut from bone and break meat apart. Return meat to Dutch oven. Cook, uncovered, 1- 1½ hours or until mixture

OR bake in the oven at 250-300 degrees for several hours
until beans are done and meat falls off the bone and is stringy. Add water as needed. Remove roast from oven, cut meat and break

meat fall off the bone and is stringy.
