How to Make Baked Beans With Ground Beef And Bacon

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large skillet, cook 1 pound bacon until crispy. Remove bacon and set aside, reserving 2 tablespoons of bacon grease.
  3. Add 1 medium chopped onion and 2 stalks chopped celery to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add 1 pound ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off excess grease.
  5. Stir in 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon dry mustard, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder.
  6. Add 2 (15-ounce) cans of baked beans, 1/2 cup ketchup, and 1/4 cup molasses. Stir in the reserved crispy bacon.
  7. Pour the mixture into a large (9x13 inch) casserole dish.
  8. Bake uncovered for 1 hour, or until heated through and bubbly.
  9. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
