Crock pot pork roast is an easy weeknight meal or make it anytime you want a great recipe for your family. My family loves this easy dish.
Crock pot Pork Roast with white beans is comfort food at its best. Add some cornbread and you have a great meal.
“Beans are highly nutritious and satisfying, they can also be delicious if and when properly prepared, and they posses over all vegetables the great advantage of being just as good, if not better, when kept waiting, an advantage in the case of people whose disposition or occupation makes it difficult for them to be punctual at mealtime.” Andre Simon (1877-1970)
Crock pot pork roast served with cornbread and sweet tea is one of our favorite meals.
3 to 4 pound pork roast 1 pound bag Great Northern white beans 1 small onion, chopped (optional) Salt and Pepper 1 teaspoon minced garlic Soak beans overnight or according to package directions. Next morning, add roast and beans to crockpot, along with chopped onion, garlic and pepper. (I don’t salt my beans until they are done). Add enough water to cover beans and leave a little space at the top or crockpot will run over when it starts to boil. Cook on high for 4 to 5 hours or low 7 to 8 hours until done. Serve with cornbread. Enjoy!

Do you think this could be made using canned beans?
Yes, that would easily work.
How do you think it would be with pork loin instead of roast?
I think you could use pork loin ok.
How would this be with lentils?
I don’t know, I have only made it with beans. If you try it, let me know how it turns out!
What size bag of beans?
would like to know if country no bone pork ribs would do instead of the roast?
Yes, they would Madeline.
THANK YOU SOUTHERN LADY…..IT WILL B ON MY MENU THIS WEEK…..BTW, I LOVE YOUR RECIPES AND YOUR DAILY POSTS.
Thank you! Enjoy!
This looks so good & I love beans. I’ll be making it soon for these cold days in Pa. What I’d like to ask you is, in the picture you posted there is another plate with something fried on it, could you tell us what it is because it looks great too.
It is fried cornbread Tanya. Here is the link to the recipe: https://thesouthernladycooks.com/2010/07/23/southern-cornmeal-hoecakes/ Enjoy!
Can I use pinto beans?
I have not tried it but see no reason why you couldn’t.
Made this tonight and we loved it! I used navy beans instead of northern beans, added the garlic and salt and pepper but did not add the optional onion. I also added one tablespoon of sugar and added mashed potato flakes to thicken the water/ liquid. Hank you for the recipe! I look forward to reading all the recipes you post.
Do u use same water that u soaked the beans in and how much water?
No, I don’t use the same water I soak my beans in. Just enough to cover the beans.
Do you brown the roast before adding it to the crockpot?
You can do it either way, Theresa. I don’t.
Look great .(comfort food)
Oh, I fixed this and me and my family loved it!!
I really enjoy your recipes and get you on facebook. Thanks again for all the delicious recipes!!
Sounds yummy and perfect now that our weather has turned cooler. It’s cooking in my crockpot at this very moment. I went with a lean pork butt roast so we’ll see how that turns out. I’ll be sure to share my results!
Sounds and looks really good! Gonna have to give it a try!
I just made this for dinner. It was delicious! I like ham in beans, but it has too much sodium. This recipe solves that problem. I will make it again. Thank you!!!
can you use a pork butt roast or is that too fatty?
Yes, I think you could and just cut some of the fat off before cooking.
My husband loves lima beans. Would limas be a good substitution for the white beans?
Yes, you could do that, too.
I made lima beans for my Dad last night. Came out awesome! No added salt just onion garlic lima beans and ham. Although I have used pork chops bc they are lean and not salted.
How much flavor does the pork roast have? I like flavorful meat and I’m wondering if mine would need some more spice.
You can add more spice if you like. We like it this way.
Can you cook a Rump Roast in a Slow Cooker overnight without the beans
Yes, you can.
Just put it in my crockpot for dinner tonight….
I enjoy your recipes so much. I sent them to friends and family and get them on Facebook. I also print most all of them,
Thank you so much, Larry! So happy you enjoy the recipes and thank you for sharing.
Made this last night and it was so delicious and easy. Definitely will be making this again. Thanks for the recipe!!! 🙂
thanks, i’m cookin’ this for supper tonight.
I’ve had this in my crock pot all day today. We just had dinner and oh my goodness…it was soooo good! The pork roast just fell apart. This is comfort food at its finest!!!
