Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground beef
• 1 large, finely chopped onion
• 1 large, finely chopped green bell pepper
• 4 cups baked beans
• 1 cup ketchup
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until it is browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Drain off any excess fat.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion and green bell pepper to the skillet with the ground beef. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the baked beans, ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the sauce is evenly distributed.

Step 5

Add the cooked ground beef and vegetable mixture to the bowl with the baked beans. Stir to combine all ingredients thoroughly.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture to a 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the dish is bubbling and heated through.

Step 8

Let the baked beans cool slightly before serving. This dish can also be divided into portions for freezing and reheating later.
