1. Brown 1 lb ground beef and 1 medium onion (chopped) in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain off excess grease.

3. In a very large bowl, combine: 2 (15-ounce) cans of baked beans, 1 (15-ounce) can of kidney beans (drained and rinsed), 1 cup of brown sugar, ½ cup of molasses, ¼ cup of ketchup, 2 tablespoons of yellow mustard, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon of liquid smoke, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, ½ teaspoon of garlic powder, ½ teaspoon of onion powder, and ¼ teaspoon of black pepper.

5. Pour the bean mixture into a greased 11x15 inch baking pan.
6. Cover with foil and bake at 325°F (160°C) for 2 hours, or until heated through and bubbly.
7. Remove foil during the last 15 minutes of baking to allow the top to brown slightly.
