Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 15-ounce can canned kidney beans
- 1 15-ounce can canned black beans
- 1 15-ounce can canned navy beans
- 1 15-ounce can canned pinto beans
- 1 pound ground beef
- 6 slices bacon
- 1 medium onion
- 1 cup ketchup
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Drain and rinse the kidney beans, black beans, navy beans, and pinto beans. Set them aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove the bacon, let it cool, and crumble it into small pieces.
In the same skillet, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.
Chop the onion finely and add it to the skillet with the cooked ground beef. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes soft and translucent.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, yellow mustard, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well blended.
Add the drained beans, cooked ground beef and onion mixture, and crumbled bacon into the mixing bowl with the sauce. Stir until everything is evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and heated through.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy!
