The Real Pork and Beans | Cowboy Beans 

"when it quits being a challenge it's probably time to do something different" that's a golden nugget of life advice there!

Most of your cooking reminds me of my childhood since I'm Mexican a lot of these meals you cook we eat on a regular basis I really appreciate your your channel great content! Keep it coming please

I feel like Mr Kent rollins is like the Bob Ross of food. Half the show is the craft, the other is Kent. Bob and kent make it look so easy and they are just fascinating characters to watch Cheers from finland! (Sorry bad english)

Guy makes pork and beans entertaining he does

I live at 4700 ft. I cook pinto beans in my crock pot with several pieces of pork carnitas, dehydrated onion, garlic siracha sauce, bottled tomatoes, garlic salt, pink salt, pepper, salt free Greek seasoning, a few dashes of cayenne pepper. Water filling pot to the brim. Cook on high for 8 hours. YUMMY!! we make chimis with the leftovers.

I am a black southern gentlemen from MISSISSIPPI and I love everything about this guy.. i ove the way he talks and his views on cooking..good stuff!

So nice to see the profile of the local cotton farmer and the tour of the gin. Love to see local folk on your videos

I had to look up those Anasazi beans. Never heard of them before! Anasazi Beans go way back. 130 A.D! They were one of the few crops cultivated by the Anasazi Indians. These Indians were 'cliff dwellers' of the four corners area. Present day Colorado, Utah, Arizona and New Mexico. You really do learn something new everyday!

Thank you for teaching me how to use the Dutch oven. You're recipes feed us here in the deep south. Please don't stop.

This hit on a couple of levels for me: I was spent my young years in northwest Louisiana, amidst cotton fields. Done a bit of pickin'. Memories of giant cotton trucks passing by on the highway right in front of my house, cotton bolls blowing off in passing. I discovered Anasazi beans in 1998, after my first heart attack. Had to make major changes to my diet, and cooked them with beef broth and no salt, lots of fresh cracked black pepper and chopped onion. YUM!! Anasazi beans remain my very favorite!

A true American patriot. Enjoy your videos and especially your kind words for our military folks. Thank you sir!

I grew up carny in Mississippi. When we were working real hard, we'd say we were ginning. The term came from cotton gins running 24/7 until there was no more cotton to process. We played the Delta twice a year. Spring planting, and fall harvest.

It's one in the morning, New year's day, and I'm working my security job sitting in a dark parking lot. Wishing I was home with my family. But watching you cook and the passion you have for it makes me feel like I am at home. Thank you for being so genuine and thank you for all your tips and tricks. Happy New Years!!

Made this today. Absolutely delicious. Family full and happy. Got extra left over for tomorrow too. Thank you Cowboy Kent and Aunt Sue!!!!

Bless you and keeping our Oklahoma ways alive and well

Anasazi beans are super. This pork and beans recipe and the feature on cotton were enjoyable. I grew up on a farm where we grew cotton, and boy has the technology improved since my childhood! When I was little, cotton was still being picked by hand.

You've been helping me through a rough time recently and even though you didn't know.....I really appreciate all you do. There aren't alot of people left like yourself. I salute you sir.

Merry Christmas, Kent, Shannon and the pooches.

Filmul asta chiar m-a inspirat,ma tinut captivat pana la capat.Multumesc

It wasn't until you were offering your prayers for service men and women that I noticed that you recorded this video on Christmas. Bless you folks, you are truly good people. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe for honest-to-God, genyouwine pork and beans. I'll never bother with that canned stuff again. One thing I thought real interesting was that the prep for the pork was pretty much the same as if you were going to do a full-on smoker BBQ. Kinda makes sense.

I am loving this, being of Greek ancestry there are some similarities in the cooking. Rule number one: always use the meat juices for flavoring.

I live out in the Northeast (Rhode Island) and seeing the heartland and how cotton is grown is really cool, it could be a new direction for your channel cooking meals/ new recipes, with highlights of the people of America, seeing ranchers or firefighters, small town America , rural back country. Places you would normally not see. Keep up the good work.

I hope you and yours had a peaceful Christmas, I do! I have been laid up since December 6 and found RU-vid on my one-eyed monster, when low and behold while looking for some old westerns there was a young cowboy cook I found to be better than those old westerns. I’m so enjoying being laid up watching you and your sidekick Ms Shannon, oh yes the beagle too! Y’all have elevated me to get back to my roots, cooking with cast iron, of course once the doc gives me an ok to get back to living again...I know my wife of 48 years will be for sure she will. Thank Y’all and it’s always a good day above the ground!

great recipe and I thank you for the love for veterans, I did 20, but I just did my job. Sure, sometimes it was dangerous. We got through it. You and everyone else is why I did it.

This was my fav episode. Good food, good people getting it done. You’re a blessing Kent.

I think in this one video he gave more tricks and techniques than most Americans know about cooking in general. I appreciate his consistent videos always teaching another new method, excellent recipes, and help with making some kickass meals.

I ordered the Anasazi beans and made this for dinner tonite. Only minor change I made was adding 1/2 tablespoon of cumin to the rub. OMG! This was truly out of this world. My daughter couldn't get enough. Recipe is definitely a keeper. Outstanding!!

thanks for putting in the cotton video! my grandpa was a tobacco and cotton farmer. that money sent my dad to college, i guess paying him back for working the fields all his life. it's stories like this that keep our history alive, my goodness how tech has changed it all!

My grandma grew up on white beans and ham. A little different but still comforting to eat.

Dear Cowboy Kent, You are a class act through and through! Thank you for all the great recipes, tips and positive words. Sincerely, Alan Agazarian

Now, those are pork and beans! Looks so delicious! Also enjoyed seeing how the cotton is processed.

There's been quite a discussion in the sewing/quilting community about the environmental impact of the cotton fabric we love -- specifically, how the bales get shipped waaaaay over to Asia to be turned into fabric, then again waaaay over to India to be printed, then back again waaaaay over to the US to warehouses, then stores, then often shipped to online customers. And this doesn't even address the chemicals and used in the processing and dyeing, much less the resulting toxic waste... Back in the 'old days' when my mom was growing up in west Tennessee, their cotton was shipped to fabric mills in the Carolinas and everything stayed here in the US from start to finish. High quality cotton fabrics used to cost $8 a yard as recently as the 90s, now you can't touch them for less than $14 (no, Walmart does not sell these; that junk is loosely woven, the designs wear off in a few washes, and it's not worth your time to cut and sew). Anyway, after growing up hearing about how cotton was picked and processed by my mom's family back then, it is SO interesting to see the inside of a modern gin, and appreciate what it takes to get cotton from plant to bale!! PS AMAZING RECIPE!!! I usually cook anasazi with smoked sausage and serve over rice, kind of New Orleans style, but am adding a pork roast to my shopping trip tomorrow for THIS! 🤠

“It makes me want to put my hat on backwards and back-up”! Priceless

Merry Christmas Kent, Shannon, Beag and Duke.

I used to love spending summers in Altus, OK (SW OK) helping my grandparents on their farm. I miss those days and I miss them. I went to visit Altus recently and it brought back so many good memories. OK has a special place in my heart - always will.

Dear Kent and Shannon -- thanks for your entertaining content. I always feel happy watching.

I loves me some beans and cornbread! Here’s a great go to recipe. One detail I appreciate about your videos is tips on coal placement. Tips like these help us reproduce with successful results. When my grandmother passed I asked for her recipe box. Like you sharing Aunt Sues recipe, when we make one of their favorite dishes it allows us to share wonderful family memories with others. Thanks for sharing!

I grew up in the Texas panhandle, my dad was oilfield not farming or ranching, but there was a little cafe in Allison Tx with the best pintos and a big slab of cornbread. When I got to ride with him weekends and summers, and we were near there that was lunch!!

True American icons and you're one of them. Thanks for the show

I love your recipies and no nonsense approach. Good job Ken.

Merry Christmas Kent and Co!! As a person that works in the food industry, this is still my favorite source of genuine good food.👍🏽

Anasazi beans are the absolute best tasting beans I know of. They cook in less than half the time of pinto beans and don't really require soaking.I discovered them 30 years ago while visiting my parents just outside of Dove Creek CO where they are grown. I buy them by the 25 pound bag shipped direct from Adobe Milling.

Loved the video. My dad was a cotton farmer in north west Texas in Floydada. Love it when someone gives the farmer and rancher credit for what hard work they do! I really appreciate it. God Bless you !!!

A huge pork with beans, I heard about you Kent and Shannon. I feeling happy to watch this.

I’m so glad I found your channel!! North Arkansas back woods girl here. I have always used Brown’s Best beans. I will look for those beans.

We were walkin' in high cotton, Old times there are not forgotten, Those fertile fields are never far away, We were walkin' in high cotton, Old time there are not forgotten, Leavin' home was the hardest thing we ever faced.

Anytime I need peace in my chaotic day I look for this channel.

I live about 15 miles away from Adobe Milling in Dove Creek, CO. It's the only place Anasazi beans will grow and nobody I meet from outside my area has ever heard of them. It sure is cool to see them here. They're the best.

When I was a kid (back in the 50’s) my step mother used to open a can of “pork & beans” . She always made sure our dad got the one little piece of pork. 😲 I need to try this recipe. Thanks for the video and as a Veteran thanks for your salute.

Thank you for this wonderful gift. I wasn't expecting a post because of Christmas. Merry Christmas to you,, Shannon, Beàg, Duke and anyone associated with these good people.

My mother would make a large pot of those beans and add mexican spice's to it and would feed 8 of us for about 4 days. I love watching these videos because they remind me of my childhood. Thanks Kent and GOD bless your family and GODSPEED.

Thanks for the tour of the cotton mill. Very educational. I had no idea. Pork and beans. OH YEAH.

Merry Christmas Kent & Shannon, love your videos and the work you do to share them! Y'all bring a smile to this old Vet and reminds me of all the time I spent in Texas!

the cotton tour in the video was a double win situation

Kent God bless you sir. You truly are blessed because you always, always bring a smile to my face. Love your videos. Don’t comment much but I am always rewarded with two things when I’m done watching you. Knowledge and happiness. Bless you mate. Ken Australia 🇦🇺

I'm fixin to do this here real soon on the first freeze for all my neighbors. God Bless my friend.

Merry Christmas to Kent and his wife, and to all of his subscribers. 🎅🏻 🎄 ⛄️

I use mineral oil on all my cutting boards and wood utensils. Mineral oil wont go rancid like,other oils do. U can get it in any pharmacy.👍🏻

You are what we needed, Texas! NeEDS you!!

You are an American treasure sir. Wonderful recipes and innovative methods paired with quality advice and great entertainment. Thank you.

Just received " A Taste of Cowboy " for Christmas from my dear wife. Never knew my mouth could water so much while laughing my saddle cushion off !!! Good recipes & an inspiring read !

One of the most beautiful sights I've ever seen in my life was a huge Georgia cotton field ready to be harvested . I love some beans and cornbread and will have to try some of these . Maybe even try to grow them to . Merry Christmas y'all !!

I appreciate your highlight of the American farmer.

Hello Sir thank you for the call out of the service men and women. My father who was a 82nd Airborne passed away on December 1st, 2019. He loved watching your channel. I want to do your chili with no beans lol. Be blessed sir and Happy New Year And a belated Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas, Kent and Shannon. I love Anasazi beans, and this looks very nice. Thanks!

Do you know why there's a "Boll Weevil Monument" is in Enterprise, Alabama? Cause years ago the boll weevil decimated the cotton crops in southeast Alabama and the farmers switched to growing peanuts. That area in now know as the Peanut Capital of the World. Merry CHRISTmas Kent, Shannon and the pups!

Mr. Rollins, I’m 63, the oldest of six kids. Pork-n-beans was a staple on our dinner table. We’re raised on a mountain in E-Tennessee. Mom used put Velveeta slices on white bread and broil it till the cheese bubbled and browned a bit. Then she would top it off with pork-n-beans. I have to say, your pork-n-beans look better. Man, I believe a fellow could do without the Velveeta toast if he had your recipe. Sheesh, that that looked absolutely delicious, make your tongue slap you silly. Texas

God bless you brother I seen the kind of work you're doing in your videos I've been watching extremely carefully thank you for your sweet and tenderness of man and your fellow brothers and sisters

Merry Christmas! Not much is better than a quiet Christmas at home with family! Now I'm thinking ahead to New Years Breakfast! My roots are Southern so for me it's Blackeyed Peas, cooked with a smoked ham hock, southern style cornbread (up here in the Great Northwet they make cornbread WAY too sweet for me) and greens, I'm partial to mustard greens but Collard or turnip will do if I can't find mustard...any mix of the three is good too. My mother used to call it "eating humble" but I grew up loving it so I make it whenever I get an opportunity. What is YOUR New Years meal tradition? Hope 2020 brings you joy and success, you sure have earned it!!

Yes sir, I heard it is best to always use chicken broth in place of water but I discovered that doesn't work with desserts and Jello. Merry Christmas!

This guy is the truth. Something special about cooking and eating outside

You, sir is a mighty pleasure to watch... Im glad and happy to see a man like you is a product of a southerner brother state.. God continue to bless you and your family... God, family and country sir kent peace out

Them Anasazi beans can also be called cranberry beans depending on what area you’re in, just in case someone is having a hard time finding them 🙂

I came here for the beans, but I love how you incorporated the cotton gin so seamlessly into the video. I tip my hat to you, Mr. Rollins.

Why isn’t this man on The Food Network? God Bless you sir🇺🇸

I really enjoy when you all do the hometown segments. Really makes the show something different! Love ya'll

That was a great local tour I remember grade school, you know when they taught us kids something, and history class talked about the cotton gin and how revolutionary it was, well I never really seen any real film of how cotton is processed really neat glad you guys did that tour. I think from time to time little additions to your videos like that one would be interesting on your channel.

Who doesn't like some good old beans and hog meat? I don't think I want to know them...Merry Christmas to you Kent and Shannon . This old Vietnam veteran loves your videos.

Kent, you are an inspiration to all of us. God bless

THANK YOU Y'ALL... THAT IS COOKING WITH MAGIC!!!

Merry Christmas to you and your lovely wife

Merry Christmas kent Rollins and family

Made this recipe and found it made us about 12 bowls. Fixed some cornbread too. Sure was scrumptious. Plenty for family and friends. Takes time to make it so start early in the day! The recipe notes help you with timing to bring it all together. Thanks Kent should have taken some pix but the pot was polished clean before I thought about it.

Sir . I'd like to thank you for recognizing the sacrifice of service folks and their families, past and present. God bless you and your team. you have my respect and admiration

Cotton was common around my neck of the woods, it's all about almond now

Another great video and recipe!! Thanks Kent! Merry Christmas to you and your family and God bless!

I really enjoyed this one. My great granddad ran a gin in Runnels county Texas. Thanks for sharing this one.

Awesome entertainment, your better than any tv show classic, you all are very classic and original, GOD bless you all

Merry Christmas Kent Rollins and family. God bless and have a prosperous and safe New Year. Cheers from Winnipeg.

Waiter, I found a southern "how it's made" episode about cotton in my beans. I'm not giving them back, but i'm pleasently surprised

Thank you Kent for reminding me of my childhood camping trips in the new mexico mountains.

There isn't nobody cooler then Cowboy Kent!!!!!

Merry Christmas 🎄 to y’all! I love me some beans. I’m from NM and we ate a lot of beans....still love them...take care and bless u all!

Merry Christmas Kent and Shannon. Best cooking on RU-vid.

Musical fruit. Excellent!

ANOTHER great video, great recipe, and great set of directions. Keep 'em coming, Kent! We appreciate you!

Merry Christmas Kent and Shannon ! All I can say , anyone giving you a thumbs down is one sad puppy .

Merry Christmas Kent, Shannon, Duke Beagle and family!

Thank you sir, when i watch your video i see my dad cooking 👍👍👍

Bless aunt Sue and you for keeping her memory alive. You are truly a class act Kent and I love your channel. I've learned a ton from watching you and can't wait to try these beans out on my grill. Thanks for sharing and stay safe!
