How to Make Cowboy Food

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of ground beef, 1/2 cup chopped onion, and 2 cloves of minced garlic. Brown the beef, breaking it up with a spoon, until no longer pink (about 8-10 minutes).
Drain off any excess grease from the skillet.
Add two (15-ounce) cans of pork and beans to the skillet. Stir to combine with the beef mixture.
Bring to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through and the flavors have melded.
Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Serve hot, optionally with toasted bread or crusty rolls for dipping.
