WARNING! I promise you, these beans taste SOOOOO good.
My beans are always requested every time I’m invited to a friend’s house for a bbq or I have a gathering of my own. There is no me without my beans apparently. That’s a testament to just how good they are.
Ingredients:
Cooking Spray (Homemade recipe here)
1 pound of ground beef
2 tablespoons vegetable oil or olive oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
28 ounce can of honey or maple baked beans
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
10 slices bacon
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°F
Coat a 2-quart casserole dish with cooking spray then set aside
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef. Add onions
While cooking, use a fork to separate the meat. Drain when meat is done.
In a large bowl, combine the beef and onions with the all of the ingredients except the bacon.
Take 5 pieces of bacon and crumble them into the mixture; mix well.
Set the other 5 pieces to the side.
Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole, then arrange the bacon slices on top.

Do you think this would still taste good without the ground beef? We are having burgers and I need to bring a side.
I haven’t tried it, but I believe that it will still be good with the ground beef. Try it out and let me know how it came out 🙂
