Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 15-ounce cans canned baked beans
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.33 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons mustard
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
Directions
Step 1
Heat a cast-iron skillet or a sturdy cooking pot over medium-high heat on your campfire or portable stove.
Step 2
Add the cooking oil to the skillet and let it heat up for 1-2 minutes.
Step 3
Peel and finely chop the yellow onion and garlic cloves. Set aside.
Step 4
Add the ground beef to the skillet and break it apart with a wooden spoon or spatula as it cooks. Stir occasionally until the beef is browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease if necessary.
Step 5
Add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring often, until the onions are translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
Step 6
Stir in the two cans of baked beans, making sure to include all the sauce from the cans.
Step 7
Add the ketchup, mustard, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Mix everything thoroughly to combine.
Step 8
Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 9
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add a pinch more salt or pepper if desired.
Step 10
Serve hot in bowls, either on its own or with a side of bread or crackers for dipping.
