Black Beans and Pork Chops

Loved this meal. It was delicious. I put it in the crock pot, porkchops uncooked, cilantro on top, salsa, black beans. Cooked on high for 3 hours. Pork chops falling apart,so tender, so good.

We prepared this dish as in the recipe, but with boneless butterfly porkchops. It was very quick, simple and tasty! Along with some yellow rice, the whole meal cost no more than $7 to feed four! Next time, I think we will probably add some spices to the pork chop such as cumin and chili powder to enhance the flavor of the pork chop and tie it into the flavor of the sauce.

This was FAN-TASTIC!!! And it's ridiculous how simple it was to make! I made the recipe as is, only adding a squeeze of fresh lime to enhance the salsa flavor. Wonderful! We also used thick cut (easily 1 1/2 wide) pork chops that we got from Costco and they only took 35 minutes to cook all the way through. We served the whole dish over a bed of rice ... My husband is already asking to make it again! Thanks for the great recipe!!

I was nervous about making this because my husband is really picky and sure enough, he didn't like the combination of the chops and beans. I, on the other hand, LOVED it! It reminded me of my dad's authentic Mexican Charro beans. I'll be making this again whether my husband likes it or not :)

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this recipe. Very simple, economical, tender and delicious. I've already made this a couple times. I actually followed the recipe closely (which is unlike me), except for sprinkling the chops with a shake of adobo seasoning before browning. Definitely use the BONE-IN chops. I always use boneless and was reluctant, but so glad I used the bone-in. They seem to be so much more flavorful and definitely less expensive. And my daughter (who is usu. pretending she is a of wolf or some type of cat) loved gnawing on the bones! I served with extra chopped cilantro on the side and yellow Goya rice. My husband said the flavor was very Cuban, and the combo of the pork juices, salsa and black beans is unbelievably flavorful. Since I had so much leftover cilantro, I chopped it all up, wrapped it well and froze it for next time. Since you're using the cilantro for cooking, the flavor is the same, even if the appearance isn't. Saved me from buying another bunch of cilantro and throwing most of it out.

Plate licking good! I seasoned my pork with some chili powder, garlic, season salt, and onion powder. I also served mine over rice. I will definitely make this again!

I loved this! I made mine with low fat mushroom soup, added some frozen green peppers, used Medium Chunky Salsa, stirred and served over rice with shredded cheddar on top! IT was fabulous! It had a mild zing, tasted great and my fiance who isn't a huge Tex-mex fan gave it 9.5 out of 10 stars! I used 4 pork chops and increased the salsa.

I seasoned my pork chops with chipotle pepper, salt, and black pepper before browning them. Leftover homemade salsa and the black beans were stirred together and poured over the pork chops in the slow cooker and cooked on high for three hours. Seasoned with fresh cilantro as the recipe directed, we all loved this simple yet delectable meal. For those tempted to use boneless pork chops, pork cooked with the bone stays moister and the meat around the bone is a real prize.

Wonderful recipe! I followed the advice of another reviewer and cooked mine in the crock pot and also used chili powder, cumin, seasoning salt, garlic powder, and onion powder.

I admit I freely seasoned while browning with cumin, salt, garlic and onion. I omitted cilantro because my husband dislikes it. This was surprisingly good. A big hit. Soo easy, thank you.

OMG these Black Beans and Pork Chops are so good! I seasoned the pork chops with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne powder before browning. I also put 2 cans of black beans and 1 can of drained corn. I didn't have any cilantro and don't think it was missed. Pork chops were falling apart and the sauce the dish makes is killer! Serve this over white rice. YUM! Thanks lovebeingamom!

Very good recipe for how easy it is. The only reason I gave it 4 is because of the amount of sodium in a can of black beans. I rubbed some minced fresh ginger, salt, pepper and cumin on the pork chops before cooking. Great served over brown rice. The sauce is better the next day!

I don't know why this recipe is so delicious, but it works! It is alomost impossible to mess up. You can add all kinds of things (garlic, onions, red pepper flakes, lime, etc.) but there really isn't a need. I will be making this again for sure. p.s. instead of regular pork chops I used pork shoulder blades. It was fabulous.

I tried this in the skillet a few times but thought the pork chops turned out too tough. So a few nights ago I threw it all in a baking dish, covered it with foil and slow-cooked it in the oven at 275 degrees for 3 hours. Heavenly! I used fresh salsa from the deli, and served it with yellow rice and sour cream.

This is a fantastic and very easy recipe. The pork chops come out nice and juicy and the flavor is wonderful. Incredibly easy to put together. Hardly any prep work involved.

This tasted good, but I thought the other flavors over-powered the taste of the pork. But it's quick, simple and full of protein. I rinsed off the beans, then added a bit of water to the pan in an effort to reduce the overall sodium content.

This was an o.k. recipe for both me and my husband. It was convienent since we had the ingredients on hand. With the leftovers we made them into taquitos the next day and skillet fried them. Would give them 4 stars for the taquitos. Thanks for submitting.

This is so easy and delicious! My changes- I use 2 cans of beans(rinsed), about 1.5 cups sala. I also add shredded cheese over the top of the chops right before their done. I made these last night, probably for the tenth time. It's one of my favorite go to recipies

This was quite tasty. I just want to let you know that the salsa cooks down and becomes much hotter than what you start with. I could barely eat it because my Medium salsa turned Hot on me! The flavor was great. Though, I might season the meat a bit more next time.

This was great! I can't believe how easy it was to make something so yummy! I threw everything in the crockpot without browning the meat first, and I still think it was delicious, and saved me some time.

Very easy and very delicious.

I wasn't that impressed with this meal. Yes, it was easy and economical, but the taste didn't wow me. If I were to make this again, I would probably add some corn, and maybe some cheese.

This was delicious! A little salty because of the canned beans, but easy to remedy. Like one other reviewer I seasoned and browned the chops before putting them in the crock pot for 6 hours. The pork was so tender it fell apart. I served the beans over rice. A little squeeze of fresh lime and some avocado slices round it out for a quick healthy meal.

I made this as directed and it turned out well. It's a quick and easy meal and a great way to keep pork chops moist. I recommend using at least a medium salsa to give it some heat, and a black bean and corn salsa would work perfectly in this. You could also add peppers, corn or other vegetables to your taste to make it a 1-dish complete meal. Also, even though I love salt, I found there is no need to add salt at any point since it's all in the black bean liquid.

This is a very good, very simple dish. The only thing I would change for next time is to dice the pork chops before letting the dish simmer for 30 minutes. I doubt it would even need that long and the beans and salsa wouldn't stick to the bottom of the pan as much.

better on chicken

Never had a house so divided. I however and writting the review so HA lol My 16 yr old PICKY eater loved it. I loved it,The sauce is so tangy and the meat is tender(crock pot 3 hours low, very busy day) My 6 yr old 8 yr old and husband said it was awful. 10 yr old said it was ok but not her favorite, So man oh man HOUSE divided. I loved the left overs as well. It is simple and the meat is tender. Try it but beware not for everyone!

I'll be making this again! I used the method of this recipe but had to change some of the ingredients because of what I had on hand. I used light red kidney beans instead of black beans and a can of Rotel instead of salsa. Like many people, I also sprinkled the chops with some spices in addition to black pepper--onion powder, chili powder and cumin. Mine took 35 min to cook. DH loved them and has requested I make them again. I served with rice and my recipe for Mexican corn. I will try the black beans and salsa next time. :)

I made this in the Crock-pot today for my hubby (I don't eat meat.) He really enjoyed this meal! I used basil leaves instead of cilantro because I didn't have cilantro. I looked up substitutes and basil leaves were listed. The ratio is 1:1. I also used a salsa that had black beans in it, but I still used a can of black beans as well. I layered frozen uncooked pork chops, basil leaves, salsa, black beans w/ liquid, and pepper. I cooked this on high for about an hour then turned it to low for about three more hours. I served it over a bed of brown rice. The next time I make this I may try adding taco seasoning to the pork chops as another reviewer commented.

Excellent! Great quick meal that everyone loved. Only slight changes were I dredged the chops in flour before adding to the pan which helped to thicken the sauce. Drained and rinsed the beans so added about 1/4 cup water to the pan to make up for the missing juice. Added some garlic as my salsa had none. Would make again!

so easy! I used loin chops (leaner) and didn't have cilantro - no problem! My Salsa was too HOT so I added a pinch of brown sugar, cinnamon, tumeric, cumin. It smelled amazing. I served over basmati rice & green beans on the side.

This was YUMMMMY! Very easy to make and tasted delish! Even my TWO yr old ate it up : ) Will def. make again

Wow!! is all I can say about this recipe. It's my husband's favorite way to eat pork chops now.

Not to our taste. I cooked on very low, and the pork chops were so dry. Won't make again.

This meal was awesome, I love black beans so it will become a favorite in my household. I added cumin, and creole seasoning to the pork chops and a whole onion after frying the pork chops. :)

This is by far one of the best recipes I have tried. My family absolutely LOVED it. Thank you so much for sharing it.

This has got to be the best dish to serve with beans or another option is corn or peas. yummy yummy!!! :)

I didn't have black beans so I subsituted them for roman beans. Other then the I followed the recipe. My husband loved it. I served it over white rice.

I really liked this dish and I gave it the full rating because I thought it was one of the more original dishes I've tried on AllRecipes. I only used two (large) pork chops but kept everything else the same. I used some of the fresh salsa that our "Cosco" type store has in the refrigerated section, it's the best. I also added some granulated garlic and cumin, since I had no cilantro. I browned the chops, added all the ingredients and baked it at 250 degrees in one of my enameled cast iron pots, slow cooked for 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Both my husband and I liked this spicy dish, it seems the older we get the spicier we like our food! A keeper dish for sure.

Very good and easy. Only difference I made was to use boneless chopes. Also used a Spike's black bean salsa which went well with the black beans.

I have made it twice, the second time with boneless chicken. Family preference was chicken. Used fresh salsa both times. So good we had it two nights in a row!

Great recipe! Probably would have been great as is, but my husband ad I wanted to add veggies and more spice. I seasoned the pork (I used Pork Loin, bone in) with Adobo w/ Sazon seasoning, pepper, garlic, and dried onion flakes.I also added the following (in addition to the beans and salsa) to pork chops after browned: more seasoning/onions, can of diced tomatoes (slightly drained), and chopped jalapeno and red peppers. Served with rice, sour cream and a lime. I nixed the cilantro just because I didn't have it and it was still good; next time I will use cilantro.

This was extremely tasty! No changes...perfect as is!

This is a really great recipe! Very easy with minimal ingredients. I will for sure be making this again. My hubby loved it as much as I did!

wow this was absolutely delicious! i couldn't believe the amout of flavor that came out of such simple and few ingredients! very easy and quick to make. i served them with garlic mashed potatoes. the bean sauce was so good that i topped the potatoes with it! will definitely keep this in my weeknight rotation of recipes. thanks for sharing!

Since I didn't have pork chops, I made this with chicken. It came out too soupy for me and, maybe because I used a mild salsa, I tasted mostly black beans. I also very lightly seasoned the chicken with pepper, garlic powder, garlic salt, chili and cumin. Nonetheless, this was okay. Next time I will drain some of the liquid from the black beans and use pork chops.

This was delicious, I used boneless chops because we dont care for the bone-in, other than that I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great. Even my 1 year old son ate a bunch of it. Pork chops were tender. I served it over white rice and would recommend this to everyone.

Very easy, wonderful spicy flavors!

this is very good and nice that it is done in a crockpot, also good when just cooked in a skillet....added onion and garlic powder and southwest mrs. dash seasoning

The black bean/salsa mix in this recipe is fantastic. It would be great with chicken, in a burrito, or in a casserole.

Very easy and super tasty! I added a half can of corn (drained) and split the salsa to 1/2 cup regular salsa and 1/2 cup salsa verde, which gave it a little kick! I served it over quinoa and my husband loved it.

I really didn't change anything just used a different type of seasoning because we love spice food, a little Tony's creole and so ground cumin

This is a quick, great tasting dish for pork chops. My husband is very picky and not a huge pork fan and he loved it! I cookced mine.on low heat for probabluly an hour and the Lorri just fell apart. I highly recommend!

I tried this recipe on Tuesday. It was simple and delicious! I pan-seared the chops then added the salsa, cilantro, and black beans. Let them cook, and in a half hour they were done! My boyfriend loved them, another man-pleasing recipe to add to my collection!

I liked the overall concept of this dish. It's hard to find porkchop recipes that aren't breaded or swimming in fat, but this recipe just lacked something. The texture of the beans didn't add to the dish, and all I could taste was spice from the salsa. I might take this technique and play with the ingredients a bit.

Very delicious! I rubbed the chops with an organic rotisserie rub. It was excellent even without the cilantro.

Made this as a way to spice up our dinners (which had become very predictable). Loved it! the pork was flavored well and both my boyfriend and I (who do not agree on spice/heat level) enjoyed it!

I added a can of cream of chicken soup, as I like a lot of gravy, and probably about 1 1/2 cups salsa. The flavors were there, but it still lacked something. Unsure if I'll make this again.

My DH and thought this was just ok. It was easy to prepare. I always try the recipe as written when rating, as I did this time. If I try this again I will add some jalepenos and some cumin. We like our dishes on the spicy side, and this was lacking.

Very good and easy, easy, easy!

SO easy!!!!! I too put in crock pot-low for 5 hours. My only addition was to sprinkle chops with cumin and garlic and brown before putting in crock pot.

WOWZA! This was absolutely fantastic! I made this nearly exactly as written - left out the cilantro as I don't care for it, but the rest produced a delicious dinner! For the salsa, I used 1/2 medium and 1/2 hot - perfect. Served over white rice. Will definitely keep this in a regular rotation. Thanks so much!

Yum! Wonderful flavor! This tastes much better than what I was expecting. My husband agrees that this is definitely a keeper!

So easy and delicious. My husband and I both loved it! We are looking forward to trying it again with different types of salsa, especially a mango salsa! Endless possibilities for add-ins, and I think I'd like to try it with chicken, too. Thank you so much for sharing this simple, satisfying dish :)

I served with a side of corn, which was really good mixed in! Very good! Will definitely make again!

not bad. we enjoyed. will try again before making any serious judgement

Loved it! So easy.....I added cheese

This easy to make recipe tasted great.We like black beans and rice so I drained 1 can of black beans to add to the recipe with a 1/4 cup extra salsa.I served it with a chopped salad and Cuban garlic bread.Very tasty.

This was GREAT! It was easy, low maintenance, and cheap! The leftover sauce/beans is great for rice for lunch too! :) My husband loved the pork.

O-m-g this dish surprised the heck out of me. I gave it four stars only because I did tweak it. Salt and pepper alone is too bland for my taste buds. I seasoned pork chops with salt, pepper, cumin, allspice, garlic and onion powder, chili power, and just a touch of ground clove. While it was simmering, I periodically added homemade vegetable stock just to keep it from drying out. Yum yum yum!

I made this tonight and it's a winner! Made a fresh HOT salsa with my new Ninja and I think it made a world of difference! Followed the recipe to the letter but only used two thick chops. Also used low sodium organic black beans. I cooked the chops for 5-6 minutes per side with the lid on; and then finished with the rest of the recipe. The chops were so tender and delicious. I would totally make this for company, and for sure - use homemade salsa! Excellent recipe.

I thought this meal was delicious! I make something very similar with chicken thighs in the slow cooker, but it never dawned on me to use it with pork! For everyone who is concerned about the sodium content, they do sell low-sodium beans (which I used) or you can cook your own in the slow cooker. Also, be sure to cut the cooking time if you are using boneless chops, or they will come out quite dry. I served this with Spanish Yellow Rice and my pops thought he was in heaven. Thanks for the recipe!

easy and really good

This was simple and tasty. We seasoned the pork chops with chipotle pepper, a little cumin, and pepper. I drained my can of beans because I don't like eating the heavy-sodium/preservatives sauce, so I just added 1/2 cup water to the mix. I cooked them for about 20 minutes, flipping once and mixing everything in. I served with/on top of brown rice. Good flavors!

Excellent and so easy!!! I added a can of corn because I like the combination of black beans, salsa, and corn, and let it simmer about 40 minutes until the pork was nice and tender. I'm a plain salt & pepper cook who would rather eat out because it's quick and easy. With recipes like this, there's no need to eat out anymore.

Great recipe. Family loved it. Made as is except used fairly thick boneless pork chops and tripled the fresh cilantro. We are big cilantro fans here. We will make it again.

Amazing flavors. I made my own salsa to my liking (spicy, lots of garlic, a can of diced tomatoes with green chilis, and a small can of diced jalapeños +garlic and onion of course), added lime juice and cumin as recommended and served with Spanish rice from the packet. Only used 2 medium chops though and found that that to be plenty. The sauce was a little soupy when served which got messy when I tried to cut it with a steak knife but so worth it. Next time I will remove the chops from the sauce and slice up on a cutting board and return to the sauce to make it easier to eat. I did then with my son's and it worked great. I also served with tortilla chips which was brilliant because I was able to scoop up salsa and beans at the end. Very filling, A+ in my book. PS no fresh cilantro at the store so had to use dried cilantro. Would have been better with fresh I'm sure. PS only cost $12 bucks to make including the tortilla chips and rice. I did have onion and spices on hand though.

This dish was a hit with the whole family. It's so simple, but very tasty. And the pork comes out nice and juicy. I will be making this one again.

I cooked this for my boyfriend's parents for dinner and it turned out AWESOME. Due to food allergies, had to change it up a teeny bit. Used 2 cans of Mild Rotel (instead of salsa), It added a nice kick to the flavoring. I marinated the pork chops with "Dale's" Steak Marinade and "Veggie Grill" spices for 3 hours. I cooked wild rice and baked vegetables (zucchini, squash and carrots) seasoned with veg. oil, black pepper, and sea salt.

This was very easy and very flavorful. I used 2 types of salsa (mellow black bean and corn/zesty cilantro). I'm no professional cook or anything, but this was a hit! I brought some for lunch and all the seasonings had settled and it was even better than the night before!! I will definitely try this again!! LDW

I made this last night for dinner. We loved it. Fast and easy. I used boneless pork chops and cut down the cooking time. Great meal that I will make again.

You can't have an EASIER dinner! I just threw everything in a crockpot it was wonderful. I served the bean mixture over rice.

I thought this recipe was just OK. Needs more spice.

Saw it , made it , loved it . This is a recipe I'll be making again for sure . I did it in the slow cooker for 3 ish hours and it was amazing .

My husband and I loved this recipe and will definately make this again. So simple and easy to make and go good. This makes plenty of sauce and had plenty to add to the extra rice for leftover bean & salsa rice.

I have made this several times, i love it! the best part is how simple and time saving it is! the only thing i did different was added some water in the skillet while browning the pork chop to keep it tender, drain then add the other ingredients to simmer. also, buy your favorite salsa, if you get the cheap stuff it will make a difference!

I made it with thick pork chops and simmered the beans with home made pico de gallo for about 20 minutes on low heat and poured the mix over the pork chops and rice. IT was great !!!!

OMG! Amazing! I didn't use salsa I instead chopped onions, peppers and garlic into a tomato sauce and seasoned it. It was superb and super easy!

Quick, easy and thoroughly enjoyed! Wonderful combo....

Followed the recipe exactly - and it was great (I did use boneless pork chops). I used a spicy salsa which blended in great with the black beans. So easy and yummy!

It was great! Kinda like a Tex-Mex Chop. Made as in recipe. Quick and simple. Will be keeping this one in the recipe box for sure.

Since I didn't have pork chops, I made this with chicken. It came out too soupy for me and, maybe because I used a mild salsa, I tasted mostly black beans. I also very lightly seasoned the chicken with pepper, garlic powder, garlic salt, chili and cumin. Nonetheless, this was okay. Next time I will drain some of the liquid from the black beans and use pork chops.

I cooked according original instructions. I did not need to change anything. I am trying to get my husband to eat more beans so, I thought I would try this recipe. I am glad I did!!!! Not only did my husband eat his entire plate, he wanted more. I will be making this dish again. Next time, I will double the portion sizes.

I was completely skeptical about this recipe because the ingredients seem so simple and random. BUT OH MY GOSH! This is so yummy! And the leftovers were just as good! I will definitely be making this again!

Absolutely delicious!!!! I didn't have any fresh cilantro (kind of made at the last minute) but I had some dried cilantro and used that. This dish is amazing, the flavors blend together so nicely and make such a nice sauce and the pork chops come out super tender! Must make rice to go with this, is perfect with the sauce. Will most definitely be making this one often. Is also super easy and fast for a busy weeknight meal!!

This was easy and good. Will make again. I only browned the meat for about 1 minute on each side, and even then it still didn't take nearly 25-30 minutes to get to 145 degrees.

Simple and tasty. I used a cilantro salsa which was perfect, as I had no fresh cilantro on hand. Also I dumped the puddle off the top of the can of beans and then added about 1/4 cup of water.

This was very good- I have actually made it twice and my husband loves it with just a side of regular rice. I recommend a dollop of sour cream on top just to make it that much better.

Very good. It helps to spice up the pork chops first and serve with Spanish Rice for a spicier flare.
