A rich and filling dish with a blend of crispy bacon, ground beef, and beans that is flavored with sweet and tangy barbecue sauce. Ideal as a side dish at parties or as a cozy dinner for large crowds.
Ingredients: 1 lb ground beef. 1/2 lb bacon, diced. 1 onion, finely chopped. 1 can 16 oz kidney beans, drained and rinsed. 1 can 16 oz black beans, drained and rinsed. 1 can 16 oz white beans, drained and rinsed. 1 can 16 oz baked beans. 1/2 cup ketchup. 1/4 cup molasses. 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed. 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard. 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar. 1 teaspoon chili powder. 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder. Salt and pepper to taste.
Instructions: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat and set aside. In the same skillet, cook the diced bacon until crispy. Remove bacon from the skillet and set aside, leaving the bacon drippings in the skillet. Add chopped onion to the skillet with bacon drippings and saut until softened.
