Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
Lightly grease a 9x9-inch casserole dish with olive oil or butter.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked pork, baked beans, diced onion, barbecue sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and ground black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread it out in an even layer.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
If desired, sprinkle breadcrumbs over the cheese for an extra crunchy topping.
Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the breadcrumbs (if used) are golden brown.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your comforting Leftover Pork and Bean Casserole!
