I know the Chef in you is right.

But the pitmaster in me says that I've been cooking beans under pork and brisket for many years (don't ask) and haven't had an issue.

I don't think it's an issue for two reasons.

1) I do it later in the cook after the initial drippings have come. I don't typically do them at the beginning but wait until the meat is almost done. 3 or 4 hours max (no pun)

2) I believe it's because the beans get above 165 and kill of most things.

Oh, and NEVER do them under any poultry...EVER
