When I picked my parents up at the airport earlier this month, I made a point of stopping by the Piggery on our way home. They told me they had eaten rubbery Styrofoam-wrapped pork chops the night before, so I had to redeem pork for them. And what better way to do that than grilling pork chops from locally-raised, heritage-breed pigs?
While we were there, I noticed that smoked bones were a mere $2. Two dollars? Naturally, I had to buy one to make some smoked pork and beans.

This is a great dish to come home to on a rainy day. To make it a more complete meal, serve the beans over cooked brown rice. If you'd like, add some sliced carrots and onions at the same time as the beans.
Ingredients
- 1 2/3 pounds pork bones, preferably smoked
- 1 lb Great Northern beans
- 7 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable stock
- 1 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a slow cooker and cook on low for 6 hours.
- Remove the bone and scrape off any remaining bits of meat. Serve.

Gosh… this looks delicious, Julie
My mouth is watering just looking at the pictures! We have entered into “decidedly Fall” weather here in Ohio (read: chilly & damp), and coming home to this meal after a long day sounds so comforting…
Yep, Ohio girl here, too…and I MISS SUMMER!
Where in Ohio? I was an Ohio girl for 11 years!
I’m about 40 miles south of Toledo, in the Findlay area
I lived wayyyy across the state… West Chester (suburb of Cincinnati)
Ahmazing recipe as always! I am in love with the bowl and spoon too
This sounds like a perfect Southwest Ohio meal
. I live in the southern part of Cincy, but grew up in Southeast Ohio
YUM! Totally making this soon.
