Ingredients for Barbecued Beefy Beans

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • Onion
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Pork And Beans
  • Ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Vinegar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar

How to Make Barbecued Beefy Beans

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 pound of ground beef and 1 medium onion (chopped) to the skillet. Sauté until the beef is browned and the onions are tender, about 8-10 minutes. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Stir in 1 (15-ounce) can of kidney beans (drained and rinsed), 1 (15-ounce) can of baked beans, 1 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Pour the mixture into a greased 1 1/2-quart casserole dish.
  5. Bake uncovered at 350°F (175°C) for 30 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
