• 1 cup unsweetened tomato sauce
• 1 cup chopped onion
• 1 cup chopped green bell pepper
• 1 tablespoon sugar-free ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion and chopped green bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes until they are soft and translucent.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Fold in the drained and rinsed green beans, ensuring they are evenly coated with the beef and sauce mixture.

Step 7

Transfer the mixture to a 9x9 inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy your keto-friendly hearty baked beans with ground beef!
