How to Make Baked Bean Casserole

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large skillet, cook 1/2 pound bacon until crisp. Remove bacon, reserving 2 tablespoons of bacon grease. Crumble bacon and set aside.
Add 1 pound ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Transfer the beef and onion mixture to a 2 1/2-quart casserole dish.
Add 2 (15-ounce) cans of baked beans (drained), 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup ketchup, 2 tablespoons mustard, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, and the crumbled bacon to the casserole dish. Mix well.
Cover the casserole dish and bake for 45 minutes.
Uncover and bake for 15 more minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
