At a glance
You're looking at a hearty, hands-off kind of dish where most of the work is done by simmering — beans need soaking the day before, then the smoked meat and beans cook together for about two hours until everything's tender. The real magic happens when you combine the pulled meat with a quick tomato-onion mixture and beans, then finish it off with your favorite hot sauce for a warming, protein-packed comfort meal.

Soak the beans ahead
Soak the beans the day before cooking. The next day, drain, rinse, and put them on to cook. Simmer until tender, season with salt near the end, then cook for a few more minutes. Drain, rinse under cold water, and set aside until the smoked meat is ready.

Cook the meat
Put the meat on to cook at the same time as the beans and simmer until tender. Cooking time will depend on the cut of smoked meat you chose. Once tender, pull the meat off the bones and save the broth to use as a soup.
