Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 6 slices Bacon
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 28 ounces Baked beans
- 15 ounces Kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 15 ounces Black beans, drained and rinsed
- 0.5 cup Ketchup
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cool, crumble the bacon and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the ground beef and cook over medium-high heat until browned, breaking it into crumbles with a spoon. Once browned, drain any excess fat and set the ground beef aside.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine the cooked ground beef, crumbled bacon, sautéed onions and garlic, baked beans, kidney beans, and black beans.
Stir in the ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.
Place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and allow the Hobo Beans to cook, uncovered, for 25-30 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve warm as a main dish or a side dish.
