Ingredients

1 lb ground beef

1 can (15 oz) baked beans

1 small onion, finely chopped

1 clove garlic, minced

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp brown sugar (optional)

1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

1 tsp chili powder

1/2 tsp black pepper

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 cup ketchup (optional)

1/2 cup shredded cheese (optional for topping)

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

  • Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.

  • Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up as it browns, about 5-7 minutes.

  • Drain excess fat and stir in baked beans, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, black pepper, salt, and ketchup (if using).

  • Lower the heat and let simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  • If desired, sprinkle shredded cheese on top and allow it to melt before serving.

Notes

  • To make it spicier, add diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.

  • You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey, chicken, or pork for a leaner option.

  • Use a variety of beans like kidney beans or black beans for a unique twist.

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
