1 can (28 oz) Bush’s Baked Beans
1/2 pound ground beef
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon onion & herb seasoning
1/4 cup minced onions
1/2 cup chopped onions
1/2 cup chopped green bell peppers
Preparation of the Beef: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks to ensure even cooking and flavor distribution.
Adding Flavor: Once the beef is browned, stir in the Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, onion & herb seasoning, and minced onions. Cook for about 5 minutes until the onions become translucent and all ingredients are well combined. This step is crucial for building the savory base of your baked beans.
Combine the Ingredients: In a large baking dish, mix the cooked beef mixture with the canned baked beans. Add the chopped onions and green bell peppers, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dish.
Bake to Perfection: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cover the baking dish and place it in the oven. Bake for approximately 30 minutes until the beans are bubbly and the bell peppers have softened. This baking process allows the flavors to meld together, creating a rich taste profile.
Serving: Once done, remove the dish from the oven and let it sit for a couple of minutes. Serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of shredded cheese if desired. Cowboy baked beans pair wonderfully with crusty bread or a simple green salad. Enjoy!
