This looks good! I'm going to make this tonight, if I have all the ingredients!

Kevinpa- Do you slice the zucchini in thins, across? Or do I cut the zucchini longways, then into think slices? I didnt see any larger round pieces, so I just want to make sure I do it right, if I make it, tonight. (It's hard to tell for sure, in the pic)

It was like a cross between pork n beans and chilli.

I made this tonight, as a side dish with the mexican pork chops. It was yummy! Thanks, Kevinpa!

I just wanted to mention that this is very versatile for leftovers. I had some of the leftovers scopped onto the top of a salad, for lunch, and made a taco salad type thing with some sour cream and hot sauce.

DH put it in a LC tortilla with cheese, sour cream, lettuce and made himself a wrap

I bet it would make a good omellete filling, also.

Pork N Beans
 

Made this for first time and all members of family absolutely loved it. DS was even using like Sloppy Joes. Only thing I did differently was subbing another zuchini for the celery cause I had no celery. Thanks Kevin.

oh boy!!!! We really like our baked beans in the summer with dogs and burgers
Do these beans (with the sauce ingredients)
taste like baked Beans??

Very much so. Make sure you rinse them off completely though.

Cool. Thanks Again Kevin! I have seen them at our local farm market /health food store but never bought them.

Thanks Kevin, I have a can of those black soy beans that I've been meaning to try. This looks great. :)

These beans are wonderful. I didn't use the ground pork or turkey bacon because I didn't have that in the house, but I did use some Canadian bacon cubed in small pieces and also added 1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika. Tonight, DH and I will have them with grilled ribs. The weather is still good here at the moment and I want to take advantage of grilling weather. Thank you Kevin for this recipe. You're a genius in the kitchen.

Looks good.

I'll switch the beans and use brown sugar Splenda. I love dark red kidney beans.
(Even though I like many soy products the black beans aren't one of them.)
