Equipment
- Dutch Oven or Skillet
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground Beef
- 1 Bell Pepper Colored, diced
- ¾ cup Onion Diced
- 3 22oz cans Baked Beans
- 2 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 tablespoon Yellow Mustard
- 2 tablespoon Hot Sauce
- ½ tablespoon Brown Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tsp Pepper
Instructions
- Brown the Beef: Heat a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks. Stir in the diced bell pepper and onion and continue cooking until the vegetables are tender. Drain any excess grease if needed. 1 lb Ground Beef 1 Bell Pepper ¾ cup Onion
- Add the Remaining Ingredients: Stir in the canned baked beans, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, brown sugar, hot sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything together until well combined. 3 22oz cans Baked Beans 2 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce 1 tbsp Yellow Mustard 2 tbsp Hot Sauce ½ tbsp Brown Sugar 1 tsp Salt 1 tsp Pepper
- Simmer: Cover and simmer over low heat for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to prevent sticking. Remove the lid and continue simmering for another 15 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken. Serve warm.
- Alternate Baked Method: After combining all the ingredients in a Dutch oven, bake at 350°F for 45 minutes until fully warmed through.
Notes
- Don't Drain the Beans - Pour the entire can, including the sauce. The sauce will help create flavor and provide needed moisture to the dish.
- Bake them in the Oven - Baking the beans will thicken the sauce and caramelize the top for that baked bean taste. 350°F oven and bake for 20-30 minutes.
- Make it Ahead - This recipe tastes even better the next day after the flavors have had time to blend.
- Taste Before Serving - Baked beans brands vary in sweetness, so always taste the finished dish and adjust as needed.
