Based on a recipe from her Aunty Janet, Ree says this is truly a dish for all seasons. In the summertime, Ree makes it to accompany hot dogs and burgers from the grill, but at other times of the year it is a great potluck dish that you can double or triple depending on how many people you are catering for.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  2. Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook until brown and cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a plate and remove all but 3 tablespoons of the grease. Add the onion, peppers and jalapeños and cook to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the pork and beans, barbecue sauce, brown sugar, mustard and vinegar, then stir to combine. Bring to a simmer, then transfer to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and top with the chorizo.
  3. Transfer the dish to the oven and bake until the beans are bubbly and the sauce has thickened, about 2 hours. Remove and let sit for 10 minutes to thicken some more and to let cool slightly. Garnish with the Cotija and cilantro. Serve.
