Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 green bell pepper diced
- 1 small yellow onion diced
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 15 ounces can red kidney beans drained and rinsed
- 15 ounces can baked beans (like Bush’s)
- ¼ cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a skillet or large pot, cook the ground beef with diced onion and bell pepper over medium heat. Cook until beef is browned and vegetables are tender, about 7 to 10 minutes. Drain excess grease.
- Stir in the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Transfer the beef mixture to a slow cooker. Add the kidney beans, baked beans, ketchup, mustard, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together until well combined.
- Cover and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours, or on high for 2 to 3 hours, until thick and bubbling.
- Stir before serving. Great on its own, over rice, or with cornbread. Enjoy!
Notes
- If you prefer less sweetness, slightly reduce the brown sugar.
- Leave the lid off during the final 30 minutes if you want thicker beans.
