Pork and Beans in Tomato Sauce

Ingredients:

Ground pork, lean

Baked beans

White onion, chopped

Brown sugar

Mustard

Molasses

Rosemary, chopped

Tomato sauce

Bacon (for the adult version)

Salt and pepper for seasoning

Preparation:

This recipe for pork and beans in tomato sauce makes for great comfort food. It’s something that you can serve the whole family while setting some aside for your baby.

To start with, make sure the baked beans that you bought are thoroughly cooked. If you want to use beans that haven’t been baked yet, soak them in water for a good two to three hours before boiling them in salted water to soften them up.

First, sauté the chopped onions then add the chopped rosemary. Add the chopped bacon too, if you’re having any. When the onions are completely translucent, add the ground pork and sauté until cooked. Then add the mustard, molasses, and brown sugar and sauté a little before adding the tomato sauce. For every cup of tomato sauce, add two tablespoons of molasses, two to three tablespoons of brown sugar, and half a tablespoon of mustard.

Let everything simmer until the beans are cooked through and through. Season with salt and pepper and serve. This is a great topping for white rice or with mashed potatoes.
