I am looking for an economical bbq bean recipe to cook for about 300 people to raise awareness about our local food pantry shortage. This will accompany pulled pork sandwiches and dogs. The brethren help is always appreciated. Thanks in advance.:clap:

Pork and beans and possibly some chili hot beans from restaurant depot. Big cans. Likely no veggies. I estimated incorrectly on pork needed so I'm trying to salvage a budget.

Pintos are cheap make a big pot of charro beans.

Charro beans for 300

30 pounds uncooked, dried pinto beans
15 gal water
15 pounds bacon, diced
15 cans (28 ounce size) tomatoes, undrained
60 medium onions, chopped
60 cloves garlic, minced
30 cans (4 ounce size) diced green chilies
10 tablespoons chili powder
3 tablespoons dried oregano, crushed
3 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons cumin
salt



Sort beans. Place beans in wash tub, cover with water and soak overnight.

Discard water. Place beans in large pot and add water. Simmer partially covered for 1 hour.

Cook bacon until crisp. Add bacon and 1/2 cup of the drippings to beans. Chop tomatoes and add to beans. Add onions, garlic, chilies, chili powder, oregano, and cumin. Simmer partially covered for three hours, or until beans are tender.

Turn off heat, Season with salt to taste.
