  4. Season the ground beef with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the cooked ground beef, crispy bacon, 2 (15-ounce) cans of baked beans, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup ketchup, 2 tablespoons yellow mustard, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, and 1 teaspoon onion powder.
  6. Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  7. Bake for 1 hour, or until heated through and bubbly.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
