Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 6 slices bacon
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 28 ounces baked beans
• 15 ounces kidney beans, drained and rinsed
• 15 ounces pinto beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup ketchup
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon mustard
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to cool. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess fat and remove the beef from the skillet.

Step 4

Using the same skillet, add the diced onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked ground beef, crumbled bacon, sautéed onion, baked beans, kidney beans, and pinto beans.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, mustard, salt, and black pepper.

Step 7

Pour the sauce mixture over the bean mixture and stir until fully incorporated.

Step 8

Transfer the mixture to a large oven-safe baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 9

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes to allow the top to caramelize slightly.

Step 10

Remove the dish from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your hearty Shipwreck Beans!
