How to Make Bbq Beans

  1. In a heavy 4-quart Dutch oven, brown 1 lb of lean ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon.
  2. Add 1 medium chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. Optional: Drain off any excess grease.
  4. Add 1 lb sliced kielbasa and 2 (15-ounce) cans of baked beans to the Dutch oven.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup ketchup, 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  6. Pour the sauce over the meat and beans, stirring well to combine.
  7. Cover the Dutch oven and bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 45-60 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly, stirring occasionally.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
  9. **Slow Cooker Alternative:** Combine all ingredients in a slow cooker. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
