I made this. Turned out delicious. The wife said it was the best meal she's had in years. I baked over night. The house smelled delightful in the morning like you described. Thanks for the post.
This looks absolutely delicious! Very similar to the way my Mom taught me how to "Bake" a big pot of beans about 1958! As a Batchelor in the 1970's, I did these all winter! About once a week! EVERYONE just loved them.
Not sure, but it looked like you poured in the bean soaking water or at least some of it. Soaking the beans causes the beans to release an enzyme which help protect the bean in its dry state. Soaking fools them into thinking it is spring and time to grow and they drop the enzyme. The enzyme causes gastric distress and gas. Throw the soaking water away. Rinse several times to get rid of all of the enzyme. You can then pre-boil the beans in any liquid you like. The beans will take up whatever flavor you use. You can use the boil water as stock, but not the soaking liquid. Great recipe by the way. Love it.
Correct I always discard the soaking water and cover the beans with clean water, plus the soaking water is a bit cloudy. I use Navy beans as that is how I was taught. I have made a simialr recipe but I stick to the beans alone and smoke the meat separatly. My mother taught me to use a clay bean pot of which I have 3 sizes, salt port, molasses, salt, pepper and dry mustard is all that I use and they bake covered for 4 hours and uncovered for 2 more. That is me making a traditional non-fancy pot of beans. Everyone has a different way
Alvaro Mendez I’m also mexicano but just love the outdoors and I cook quiet a bit out in the grill but have now great interest in cast iron cooking I’ve been cooking some recipes for some time with family when we go out camping just love it and this Boston recipe looks delicious I will be trying it out
Your place looks like mine. Small kitchen full all different things for cooking. When friends come by the first time they are blow away how much kitchen stuff I have in my tiny place. It's a joy and I eat well!
This certainly is a elegant start to the day! I will start pronto, thanks for your very warm and honest post, I'm going to make my family very happy tomorrow when everything looks just as delicious as to yours
looks very, very delicious!!! can't wait to try this recipe! I have never made baked beans from scratch and love them so much ... your video also brought back so many memories of my dear mom who had pork and beans on the menu on most Fall and Winter evenings! bless you!
Just made this for the super bowl today in a number 12 Lodge dutch oven. Came out perfect, wish I could share a pic. The 10 lb. Pork butt didn't fit for me so I just cut it in half, and put the other half in a crock pot over night. I would add salt and some extra seasoning at the end of cooking. I seared the pork in the dutch oven to add some extra flavor. Love the videos. Thanks for the recipe.
Oh.............I have to have this. Grew up on Boston Baked beans as a New Englander, but never had them like this. Pork is my favorite roast. I do add quite a bit of pork and bacon when I bake beans, but have never seen it done like this. I will have to make this. Thank you! I always enjoy your videos, and have subscribed. Thanks.
I cooked this New Years day, exactly to the recipe, and it turned out awesome. My wife is from Holyoke, Ma and it passed muster with her. I had to order a Lodge 7 QT dutch oven, as the as ones i have were too small. Good tip to put cookie sheets under the pot, as it tends to bubble over a little , during the cooking process.
I like your recipes and quick cooking instructions. I just got a beautiful cast iron Staub Dutch oven on Sunday for $40 at a yard sale. So far I have made chicken soup in it but I'm excited to make this recipe next.
I made a pot of baked beans using your recipe and it was super delicious. I added smoked pulled pork and smoked ribs to my baked beans. The flavor of my beans were off the charts good. My friend shared this recipe with me and I am so glad she did. I shot a video yesterday with credit given to YOU, my friend Headchef Mom and The Root Boy Cooks for sharing this amazing recipe. Be Blessed and Happy New Year.
@@castironchaos I didn't LIKE it ...........I LOVED it. The video I shot yesterday just Premiered on my channel a few minutes ago.

Your new foodie friend Josie, The Roed to Good Cooking 💖😍
Good to see more videos from you. I tried cooking my first steak on my Lodge pan. I worked around your steak tutorial, and a bit of my own cooking knowledge. It came out fantastic!
Your a man after my own heart. :-) I am 5th generation in New England and Saturday baked beans are a tradition. Ma used to make brown bread in coffee cans, wish I had paid more attention to the way she made it. sorry to say the store bought ones don't taste the same. :-) By the way I have Ma's #9 Griswold Dutch Oven. Glad you told us about the oven temp. Been baking at to high a temp for years. :-)
We made this last night in our Bayou Classic oblong fryer for our breakfast this morning and WOW!!!. It was delicious. We had toasted homemade English muffins done on CI with it. Thank you Eric. Keep on teaching us how to cook. We appreciate you blazing the trail.
Awesome! I've only been cooking for about eight years myself, and don't consider myself a teacher; but I'm very glad and flattered when folks enjoy my recipes.
dude ...can't wait to try this, um, um, um, um yum! a good way to prevent "spillage" is to mix 2+C. flour, sea salt(not sure what it does, but?) and water to make a fairly stiff dough, roll into a fat snake shape, wrap the dough around the edge of the pot, put lid on the dough, squish down gently and bake away. it forms a seal that keeps the juices "IN" the pot and not all over the oven. anyway just something I've learned along my path to 200 + lbs of jolliness and good will:) one thing to remember is to put enough liquid in at first because you'll not be able to lift the lid until finished. thanks for sharing
I have been adding sizable amounts of pork to my baked beans for several years, but never anything like a 10 pound shoulder. I usually add 2-3 country style ribs to 2 pounds of dried beans. I have also tried other meats including chicken leg quarters, beef pot roast, bear and venison. All are good but pork is best, closely followed by bear. In the winter I usually cook in a dutch oven on the wood stove overnight. In the summer when I don't want anything that makes the house hotter I cook my beans in the ground for at least 12 hours, sometimes longer. Either way is much better than canned pork and beans where the pork is just a small piece of fat.
excellent recipe, I really enjoy your cast iron cooking. my only question is, I wonder why you seared the pork in a separate pan as apposed to searing it in the pot you're baking it all in. it seems to me that there's a little bit of lost flavor in the second pan. but still a great recipe.
Actually, you have a good point there - you could easily sear the pork shoulder in the big pot, then remove it from the pot and add the beans after searing the meat. Then you add the sauce and liquid, and finally place the pork back in, on top of the meat. It would certainly work that way.
@@castironchaos No offense intended, but that's kind of the point (but admittedly not the only one) of using a Dutch oven. All of the flavor from searing your meat remains in the dish being prepared.
Oh my goodness!!! You are wonderful. This video will be going into my favorites folder and I'll be making this! I so enjoy you and your videos! All of them!
I have not had a decent meal of baked beans since Libbys went out of business. Heinze doesn't cut it!! Thanks for the recipe.....it worked as advertised. Loved it!! Keep up the good work...its appreciated.
it was pretty molasses heavy for me so i added 1/4 cup vinegar extra and i juiced an orange in it. seemed to balance out for my personal preference that way. Its all on the smoker as i type this.
this one is great :) i saw sal from the root boy cooks make it his version and felt like trying it out hehe and now the cirkle is complete hehe while uploading my take on it i was watching your original version :) and man i can only say its soooo tasty, and its really turned me on to make more food with beans :)
Well....it took a while..... But three yrs later it has over 51,000 views. And it DOES look INCREDIBLE!! [If only I could lift that cast iron kettle into the oven, I'd be SET!]
Found you while looking for a great Boston Baked Beans recipe. I’ve bought a pork hock for this one. Same everything else. It looks fantastic. I’ll do the pork roast next time. Thanks and I’ll see what else you cook up. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
My friends who smoke (smoke meat, that is) say smoking the brisket kicks this dish up a notch. I can't use a smoker since I live on the third floor of an apartment building wiht a no-open-flames rule. :P
Boston Baked beans, yummy! To each his own, but I don't enjoy a sweet or bbq flavored bean. Julia Childs has a tasty bean (non-crockpot) recipe. I find is closest to Mom's. Yup, that's right! Just made a batch with smoked ham hocks... no salt pork available (supply chain). Bacon is too expensive right now on my fixed income. The hocks increased the time involved but turned out well. I used a cast iron dutch oven, my ceramic is cracked. Finished the beans off with a baking technique I learned from America's Test Kitchen. Those gals rock. They added a splash of soy sauce. Regards
I make these almost every weekend, I have my own variation. I add a touch of smoked paprika to the sauce, it gives it an amazing smoky flavor that is much better (in my opinion) than with just the smoke from the bacon. Give it a try if you can find the stuff there, its a bit difficult in some places.
cut recipe in half,made it,took into work,the guys were like Sherman marching thru Georgia,the cornbread didn't help!! the aroma in the apt building had people asking for the recipe.thanx for your imput. Chef,what brand is that pot where you seared the pork?
+s thompson That was a Finex cast iron skillet. An earlier comment here pointed out you could sear the pork in the same cast iron dutch oven without having to use an extra skillet.
On another channel they say not to use a seasoned cast iron pot to slowly bake beans They say the seasoning comes off and makes the beans taste greasy and "off". Do you do anything to avoid this? Your recipe looks great.
Use a pot that's well seasoned, and only make beans in it every so often. The seasoning can be affected, but when the pot has a good seasoning then it should work just fine.
That looked pretty good. I will try to make those right now it's too hot In Southern California. PS I'm brand new At collecting cast iron Thanks a lot for all your videos.

Why not just foil on the tray? Then throw the foil away ( or let the dog lick after it cools) and no cleaning up spillage.

Boston baked beans are made with salt pork.They donot contain tomatoes or worcestershire sauce. The meat can be bacon or ham (leftover) and a ham bone. Say the remains of a smoked shoylder. I am a native of New England for.my whole life. Crockpot baked beans are excellent.
can you please make a video on how to make new england brown bread?
Absolutely LOVE your counter tops! did you design those yourself?
I loved this!!!!!! How many do you have in your family gatherings ? That is one large pork shoulder
Looks really nice ...
Awesome! I heard you grunting when you lifted the pot in and out of the oven.
WOW, thr eats worth dying for...
