Ingredients

1 pound lean ground beef
3 15 ounce cans baked beans with pork (or without)
½ cup BBQ sauce
½ cup ketchup
⅓ cup light brown sugar
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
¼ cup cooked bacon crumbled

Instructions

Heat a large Dutch oven over medium heat and add the ground beef. Use a spatula or spoon to break up the meat as it cooks, ensuring it browns evenly. Cook the ground beef until it's no longer pink, which usually takes about 5-7 minutes.
If needed drain any excess fat and return the cooked ground beef to the pot.

Next, add the remaining ingredients EXCEPT the cooked bacon.
Mix together until everything is well incorporated.
½ cup BBQ sauce, ½ cup ketchup, ⅓ cup light brown sugar, 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder
Bring the beans to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Add cooked bacon just before serving, to insure it stays nice and crispy, because soggy bacon is sad. Enjoy!
