How to Make Baked Beans With Ground Beef

  1. Sauté 1 medium onion, chopped, and 1 green bell pepper, chopped, in 2 tablespoons of butter until softened (about 5 minutes).
  2. In a separate skillet, brown 1 pound of ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon.
  3. Season the ground beef with 1 tablespoon of fajita seasoning and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Drain off any excess grease.
  4. Transfer the sautéed vegetables and browned ground beef to a slow cooker or large oven-safe dish.
  5. Add the remaining ingredients: 2 (15-ounce) cans of baked beans, 1 cup of beef broth, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1/4 cup of ketchup, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, and 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard.
  6. Stir everything together until well combined.
  7. Cook on low for 2 hours in a slow cooker, or in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly. Stir halfway through cooking time for even heating.
  8. Serve hot and enjoy!
