Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 15-ounce cans canned baked beans
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.33 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons mustard
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
Instructions
Heat a cast-iron skillet or a sturdy cooking pot over medium-high heat on your campfire or portable stove.
Add the cooking oil to the skillet and let it heat up for 1-2 minutes.
Peel and finely chop the yellow onion and garlic cloves. Set aside.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and break it apart with a wooden spoon or spatula as it cooks. Stir occasionally until the beef is browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease if necessary.
Add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring often, until the onions are translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
Stir in the two cans of baked beans, making sure to include all the sauce from the cans.
Add the ketchup, mustard, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Mix everything thoroughly to combine.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add a pinch more salt or pepper if desired.
Serve hot in bowls, either on its own or with a side of bread or crackers for dipping.
