Cowboy Beans
Description
This recipe begins by browning ground beef with diced onion and green bell pepper seasoned with garlic salt and onion powder in a heavy, oven-safe pot. After cooking and draining excess liquid, crispy cooked bacon crumbles, baked beans, barbecue sauce, Dijon mustard, and optional brown sugar are stirred in.
The mixture is covered and baked in the oven at 350°F for one hour, allowing flavors to meld and the beans to thicken to a hot, bubbly consistency. The combination of meats and sauces creates a layered, smoky, sweet-savory flavor typically associated with Cowboy Beans.
This dish works well for casual meals and gatherings, served warm as a main or side dish. The recipe is straightforward and uses pantry staples along with cooked bacon for smoky depth.
