Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion chopped
- 1 bell pepper finely chopped, red or green
- 4 12-ounce cans baked beans
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons yellow mustard
- 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt plus more, to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Add the ground beef, chopped onion, and bell peppers to a large skillet over medium heat. Cook until the beef is browned and the onion is soft, breaking up the meat as it cooks. Drain excess fat if needed.

- Transfer the cooked beef and onions into a large bowl. Stir in the baked beans, brown sugar, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well mixed.

- Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish and bake uncovered for 70-75 minutes, or until bubbly and heated through. Let stand for a few minutes before serving.
