Whenever my grandmother visits she makes this tender 4 ingredient dinner. It is so juicy and flavorful that the family scrapes the pot clean.

thicker gravy, stir 1 to 2 tablespoons of cornstarch into 2 tablespoons of cold water, then mix that slurry into the hot liquid in the slow cooker during the last 20 to 30 minutes on HIGH until the gravy turns silky and clings to the pork and beans.

For kids who are picky about beans, you can serve the pork and gravy over mashed potatoes or noodles, with the butter beans on the side so they can try a small spoonful.
