Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 6 slices Bacon
• 1 medium Onion
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves
• 28 ounces Baked beans
• 15 ounces Kidney beans, drained and rinsed
• 15 ounces Black beans, drained and rinsed
• 0.5 cup Ketchup
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Yellow mustard
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cool, crumble the bacon and set aside.

Step 2

In the same skillet, add the ground beef and cook over medium-high heat until browned, breaking it into crumbles with a spoon. Once browned, drain any excess fat and set the ground beef aside.

Step 3

Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine the cooked ground beef, crumbled bacon, sautéed onions and garlic, baked beans, kidney beans, and black beans.

Step 5

Stir in the ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.

Step 6

Place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and allow the Hobo Beans to cook, uncovered, for 25-30 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve warm as a main dish or a side dish.
