How to Make Barbecue Beans With Ground Beef And Bacon

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Grease a 3-quart baking dish.
3. In a large Dutch oven, brown 1 lb ground beef with 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Use a wooden spoon to crumble the beef as it cooks.
4. Cook the beef until no longer pink, about 8-10 minutes. Drain off any excess grease.
5. Stir in 6 slices bacon (cooked and crumbled), 1 (15-ounce) can kidney beans (drained and rinsed), 1 (15-ounce) can pinto beans (drained and rinsed), 1 cup beef broth, 1/2 cup barbecue sauce, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
6. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then adjust seasoning to taste. Simmer for 5 minutes.
7. Transfer the bean mixture to the prepared baking dish.
8. At this point, you can chill the dish for at least 8 hours (or overnight) before baking. This allows the flavors to meld.
9. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly, stirring occasionally.
