Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil.
Add the chopped onion and chopped green bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes until they are soft and translucent.
Crank up the heat slightly, add the ground beef to the skillet, and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 7-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Reduce the heat to low and add the tomato sauce, sugar-free ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, yellow mustard, smoked paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Stir well to combine.
Fold in the drained and rinsed green beans, ensuring they are evenly coated with the beef and sauce mixture.
Transfer the mixture to a 9x9 inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the top to lightly caramelize.
Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your keto-friendly hearty baked beans with ground beef!
