Back when cowboys roamed the plains, beans were a critical part of their diet. Why? It was easy to carry a sack of dried beans and a hunk of salt pork in your saddle bags. But we’ve jazzed up the classic cowboy pork and bean recipe. For one thing, forget the dried beans and opt for fast and convenient Randall Beans in the glass jars. They’re ready to eat when you are.

We’ve also added a few tasty ingredients the cowboys might not have had out on the range. We’ve doubled the pork by adding smokey  bacon, which adds a rich depth of flavor to the dish. A teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce adds that meaty, salty flavor that no one will be able to place but everyone will be able to appreciate.

For heat-seekers, add as much cayenne pepper as you like and top it with your favorite hot sauce for a fiery kick. Any cowboy would wish they had a pot of beans as good as these. Serve with cornbread for a complete and tasty meal.
