Bean With Bacon Soup Like Mom’s

Campbell’s Bean With Bacon Soup is my favorite canned soup of all time. This is not an exact duplicate of Campbell’s Bean Bacon Soup version but it reminds me of the navy bean soup my Mom used to make.

Making this soup is not as easy as opening a can of Campbell’s but most of the time spent making this bean soup recipe is inactive time.

Bean With Bacon Soup Like Mom's

Ingredients

1 16 ounce package dried navy beans
water to cover
7 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup margarine
4 carrots chopped
1 onion chopped
1/2 pound bacon

Instructions

How to make bean soup

Clean and sort the dried navy beans. Place the beans in a large bowl with water to cover and soak for 3 hours.
In a large stock pot over medium heat, combine the navy beans and the chicken stock and allow to simmer.
Meanwhile, melt the butter or margarine in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped carrots and the chopped onion and saute for 10 minutes, or until onion is caramelized.
Add the carrot and onion mixture to the pot.
In the same skillet over medium high heat, saute the bacon for 10 to 15 minutes, or until it is crisp. Drain the grease and add the bacon to the pot.
Continue to simmer the soup over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the beans are tender and the soup has thickened.

I haven’t tried freezing this soup but my suspicion is that it will freeze well at least for a little while.

The one thing I do know for sure is that it’s a rich and delicious bean with bacon soup and is absolutely great on a cool autumn evening.

Bean and Ham Soup

This bean and ham soup might not seem like much just reading the recipe. But it could be one of the best you’ve had. It’s zesty and very meaty and certainly in the whole meal soup category.

Bean and Ham Soup

Ingredients

1 pound Italian sausage
2 smoked ham hocks
3 potatoes, peeled and cubed
3 stalks celery, chopped, with leaves
2 tablespoons dried parsley
3 (15 ounce) cans kidney beans
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
2 (14.5 ounce) cans stewed tomatoes
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 cloves crushed garlic

Directions

Cut the Italian sausage into bit sized pieces. The smaller the pieces the meatier the soup will seem.

In a large pot brown the Italian sausage and the ham hocks over medium heat. Drain off any excess fat.

Add the potatoes, celery, parsley, beans, tomato sauce, tomatoes, salt, pepper, chili sauce, bay leaves, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce to the meat. Add just enough water to cover. Bring the soup to a boil and then reduce to simmer.

Cover, and continue to cook for 2-3 hours.

Remove the ham hocks and cut the meat into bite-size pieces. Return the meat to pot.

Ladle into soup bowls and serve.

Would you like a spicier soup? Use hot Italian sausage and replace some of the stewed tomatoes with a can of rotel tomatoes. You can also sprinkle with red pepper flakes to taste.

To me those changes make a great Bean and Ham Soup even better.

BBQ Pork Ribs Recipe

This is an unusual BBQ Pork Ribs Recipe. The pork ribs are simmered in beer until tender and then finished in the oven with the BBQ sauce and lemon. This is a super ribs recipe.

I prefer doing them on the grill but the oven works when the situation calls for it.

BBQ Pork Ribs Recipe

Ingredients

1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle beer
1 1/2 cups water
1 tablespoon salt
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
5 pounds pork spareribs
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup thinly sliced onions
2 cloves garlic, pressed
2 (8 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with juice
1 cup ketchup
3 tablespoons molasses
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon prepared mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 tablespoon hot pepper sauce
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1/2 lemon, sliced into rounds

Directions

Pour the beer and the water into a large stockpot. Add the salt and stir to dissolve. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium high heat.

In a large skillet or frying pan heat the vegetable oil over high heat. Sear the ribs on both sides in the skillet. Place the ribs on paper towels to briefly drain.

Add the seared ribs to the beer and water mixture. Add more water as needed to cover the ribs. Cover the pot and simmer for 2 hours.

While the ribs are simmering, melt the butter in a saucepan and saute the onions and garlic until the onions are translucent.

Stir in the tomatoes, ketchup, molasses, Worcestershire, mustard, salt, hot pepper sauce and vinegar. Bring the mixture to a slow boil, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat to low and leave it simmering until the ribs are finished.

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.

Drain the ribs and arrange them in a shallow roasting pan. Ladle the sauce over the ribs evenly. Slice each slice of lemon in half and distribute the half slices on top of the sauce.

Cover the pan with loosely with foil and place in the oven for 15 minutes, and then uncover for the last 10, a total of 25 minutes oven time.

Remove the rinds from the lemon slices and discard the rinds. Return the lemon flesh to the sauce on top of the ribs.

Cover the ribs with more sauce and serve.

Diehard BBQ ribs fanatics will claim this is not BBQ ribs because the ribs are done in the oven and not on a bbq grill or smoker. The proof is in the eating, however, and you will get rave reviews with this BBQ Pork Ribs Recipe.

BBQ Pork Ribs

BBQ Pork Ribs are perfect for a backyard barbecue. This bbq pork recipe, aside from being tender and moist, can be made ahead of time and finished on the grill or BBQ for a few minutes and then served sizzling hot.

If you are really crushed for time, make these ribs well ahead of time and freeze them, individually tightly wrapped in plastic. That way you can also use only what you need.

I like to use the onion butter basting sauce described below, but you may prefer to use your own basting sauce or barbecue sauce. Just keep an eye on those ribs while they are grilling to keep the sauce from flaring up and burning the meat.

Easy BBQ Pork Ribs Recipe

Ingredients

5 pounds pork spareribs cut into serving size portions
1 cup barbecue sauce – hickory smoke flavored is best for this recipe
1 cup ketchup
1 cup water from the boiling liquid used for the ribs
1/2 cup distilled white vinegar
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 medium onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 lemon, juiced
kosher salt and ground black pepper

Directions

Season the spareribs with plenty of the salt and black pepper. Put them in a large roasting pan or kettle and cover them with water. Bring the pot to a boil, and then turn down the heat to a simmer, cover the pot and let the ribs gently cook for about 2 hours, just until the meat is starting to pull away from the bones, but not quite falling off.

Reserve one cup of the cooking water for the basting sauce. Let the ribs cool in the pan with the water, and then cover the pan and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours.

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan and sauté the onion and garlic until they are soft but not brown.

Whisk together the ketchup, the cup of reserved cooking water, the white vinegar and lemon juice. Put the mixture in a blender and add the melted butter and onions. Puree the mixture until it is smooth. Pour it back into the saucepan and season with kosher salt and black pepper, bring the sauce to a boil, and then reduce the heat and simmer it for a minute. Set the sauce aside.

Light a charcoal barbecue or heat a gas grill. Remove the cooked ribs from the liquid and dry them off just a bit. Start grilling the ribs, turning to cook both sides, then begin basting them with the sauce after about 5 minutes. Serve the ribs when they are completely heated through, about 20 minutes.

Serve with the remaining basting sauce on the side, or heat up some of your favorite BBQ sauce. The hickory smoke flavored sauce used for basting is a great choice.

Serves 4

Good To Know – One other way for prepping the ribs is to season them well and then layer them on a baking sheet, wrap them well in foil, and bake in a low oven, about 275F, for 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Refrigerate them for 2 hours before putting them on the grill.

Just remember that the meat needs to be just beginning to pull away from the bones in order to insure that they are tender when finished grilling.

Enjoy these great BBQ Pork Ribs!

BBQ Pork Recipe

This BBQ Pork Recipe has been developed over the years as a specialty BBQ pork for an annual picnic.

The recipe is always good for a crowd and can be transported easily.

I like it because of the combination of sweet and smoky – cooked up totally by accident – when there wasn’t enough of just one kind of barbecue sauce.

Later Tabasco sauce was added to give it a little extra spice. The result is incredibly delicious so don’t expect any leftovers!

Slow Cooker BBQ Pork Recipe For Sandwiches

Ingredients

2 1/2 pounds boneless pork roast, from the shoulder or butt
2 bottles (12 ounces) barbecue sauce – one traditional and one extra smoky
3 cups beef broth
2 cups strong black coffee
10 cloves garlic, left whole
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons whiskey or bourbon
1 large onion, diced
1/2 teaspoon crushed red chili flakes
1 tablespoon Tabasco
Kosher salt and ground black pepper

Directions

Season the pork roast with the salt and black pepper. Place it in the slow cooker or crockpot and then add the garlic cloves and diced onion.

Whisk together the beef broth, brewed coffee, Worcestershire sauce, whiskey, crushed red chili and Tabasco sauce. Pour this mixture over the seasoned pork roast and cook, covered, on low for 3 to 4 hours.

Remove the whole garlic cloves from the pot and mash them with the side of a large knife, and then put them back in the pot and cook for another 3 hours.

Transfer the cooked pork roast to a cutting board and shred the meat with 2 forks or your hands. Turn the crockpot on high to reduce the cooking liquids almost all the way down. Discard the diced onions.

Put the shredded pork roast back into the pot with the reduced liquids and add both jars of barbecue sauce. Mix the meat and sauce until it well combined. Add a little water if it seems too thick. Cover the pot and simmer the pork on low heat for 1 to 2 hours.

Serve your BBQ Pork with toasted hamburger buns and coleslaw.

Serves 10

Good To Know – You can speed up the process by cooking the pork roast on high heat in the slow cooker. Keep an eye on the liquids and add a cup of water if necessary.

On Your Own – Experiment with the different BBQ sauces available – you can use 2 bottles of the same one if you have a special favorite, or you can mix and match any others that you like. Be sure to write down your preferences so you can duplicate your success next time.

Food For Thought – Someone once asked if it made a difference if you used decaf coffee, and the answer is no. Just make sure your coffee is extra strong – I know someone who doesn’t drink coffee at all and she used 8 packs of instant coffee for the 2 cups required and gave the rest away.

Serve this up at your next family gathering. Your friends and family will surely enjoy the delicious flavor of pulled pork with this BBQ Pork Recipe.
