Equipment
- 9x13 casserole dish
Ingredients
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 1 small white onion diced
- 1 green bell pepper chopped
- 1 tbsp. garlic powder
- 1 tbsp. onion powder
- 1 tbsp. Dry BBQ Rub suggested: Weber Cowboy Seasoning
- 56 oz. Original flavored baked beans
- 1 cup BBQ Sauce
- ¼ cup honey mustard
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 lb. bacon cooked and crumbled
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a large skillet, combine ground beef, chopped small white onion (or sweet onion), and diced green bell pepper. Cook over medium heat until the meat is browned and the vegetables are tender. If necessary, use a napkin being held by tongs to soak up any excess grease.
- Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, and your chosen dry BBQ rub (I recommend Weber Cowboy Seasoning for an authentic smoky kick). For lean ground beef, you may want to adjust the seasoning to boost flavor.
- In a 9 by 13 casserole dish, pour two cans of baked beans (do not drain). Add the beef mixture and stir in the BBQ sauce, honey mustard, and brown sugar until everything is thoroughly combined.
- Toss in the crispy cooked bacon pieces, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dish. Bake for 1 hour until the flavors meld and the dish is piping hot. Can be served immediately or served cold later on. (I recommend hot)
