Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 15 ounce can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 15 ounce can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
- 8 ounces tomato sauce
- 1 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked, about 5–7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the ground beef. Cook for another 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and fragrant.
Stir in the kidney beans, pinto beans, tomato sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to let the flavors meld.
Transfer the mixture to a lightly greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy!
