Mix half of paprika, salt and pepper. Debone the pork chops and season both sides, pat seasoning into meat.

Brown both sides of the meat. Get a good sear going in the pot. I use a Dutch oven (as always lol) you can season and sear some of the bigger bones for additional flavor if you like.

When meat is nicely browned, add your beans and fill over with water about an inch and a half. Stir well to release sear. Cover and bring to a boil then reduce heat to simmer and cook for one hour.

Add the rest of your seasonings and flavor packets, cook for another 30 to 45 minutes until beans are tender.

Stir gently and try not to over stir or it will keep thickening up. Serve with rice.
