Ingredients
- 1 lb. ground beef
- ½ of a small onion, diced (about ½ cup total)
- 1 (16 ounce) can baked beans
- 1 (15.5 ounce) can cannellini beans or kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- ½ cup barbecue sauce (I use Sweet Baby Ray’s brand)
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- Kosher salt and ground black pepper, to taste
- For serving: cornbread
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. In a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, cook ground beef and onion over medium-high heat until the meat is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain off the excess grease.
- Stir in the baked beans, cannellini beans, barbecue sauce, maple syrup, and mustard. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Once the mixture boils, transfer the skillet or Dutch oven to the oven. Bake, uncovered, for 10-15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until bubbly.
- Serve with cornbread.
Notes
- An oven-safe pan (such as a Dutch oven or a cast iron skillet) makes it easy to transfer the casserole directly to the oven. If you don't have an ovenproof skillet, no problem! Just pour the baked bean mixture into a greased 2-quart baking dish or other similar casserole dish before placing it in the oven. This is the braiser that I use.
- I like to finish this casserole in the oven so that the dish heats through evenly, the sauce thickens, and I don't have to babysit the pan on the stovetop. If you prefer, you can simmer the casserole on the stovetop -- you'll just need to standby and stir regularly so that the bottom doesn't scorch and the filling warms evenly.
- I prefer the savory combination of a Southern-style skillet cornbread paired with this sweet baked bean casserole; however, you can use any cornbread recipe that you enjoy. Try this one for a sweet option, use this Jiffy cornbread with creamed corn for a nice shortcut, or keep it really simple with a box of store-bought cornbread mix.
- Garnish the casserole with chopped fresh parsley or other herbs for a bright, flavorful finishing touch.
