How to Make Baked Beans Supreme Aka Gene Brown Beans
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 1 large chopped onion and 2 cloves minced garlic. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add 1 pound of ground beef (or your favorite BBQ meat) to the pot and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
- Stir in 2 (15-ounce) cans of baked beans, 1 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1/4 cup of molasses, 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (optional).
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for at least 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing the flavors to meld and deepen.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. For a smokier flavor, consider adding a few drops of liquid smoke.
- Serve hot over cooked rice. Garnish with chopped green onions or your favorite BBQ toppings.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
