Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 28 ounces Baked beans (canned)
- 8 ounces Crushed pineapple (canned, drained)
- 0.5 cup Ketchup
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Mustard (yellow or Dijon)
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large skillet, heat over medium-high heat and add the ground beef.
Season the beef with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Break up the meat with a spoon as it cooks.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is tender and translucent.
Drain any excess grease from the skillet and remove it from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the baked beans, drained pineapple, ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and paprika. Mix until well incorporated.
Add the cooked beef and onion mixture to the bowl with the bean mixture. Stir thoroughly to combine.
Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Place the dish in the preheated oven on the middle rack and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are bubbling and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm as a main dish or as a side alongside cornbread or a crisp green salad.
