Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 pound Bacon diced
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 medium red bell pepper diced, or green bell pepper
  • 1 (16 ounce can) black beans drained
  • 1 (16 ounce) Navy beans drained
  • 1 (16 ounce can) butter beans drained
  • 1 (16 ounce can) pinto beans drained
Sauce
  • 2 cups ketchup
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons ground mustard
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9x13 pan.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add in ground beef and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder until browned, about 6-8 minutes. Once browned, remove from pan and set aside.
  3. Add bacon to the skillet. Cook over medium high heat until crispy, about 6 to 8 minutes. Remove pan from heat and spoon the bacon out of the skillet, leaving the grease. Set bacon to the side.
  4. In the pan with the bacon drippings, sauté the onions and bell peppers over medium heat until the vegetables start to soften and get a little bit of browning on them, about 5 minutes
  5. Reduce the heat to low and add in the cans of beans and return the ground beef and half of the bacon to the skillet.
  6. Add in ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire, ground mustard, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
  7. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Top with remaining bacon. Bake, covered, in the 300 degree oven for 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
Slow Cooker Instructions
  1. Follow all instructions for stovetop to cook the ground beef, bacon, and vegetables. Once each is cooked, transfer them to a 5 to 8 quart slow cooker instead of baking them. Add in the drained canned beans, ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire, ground mustard, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
  2. Cover and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours.

Notes

  • Omitting the sugar works great in this recipe. The beans won't be as sweet, but still delicious!
