Ingredients:
- 1 can (28 oz) Bush’s Baked Beans
- 1/2 pound ground beef
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon onion & herb seasoning
- 1/4 cup minced onions
- 1/2 cup chopped onions
- 1/2 cup chopped green bell peppers
Instructions:
1. Preparation of the Beef: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks to ensure even flavor distribution.
2. Adding Flavor: Once the beef is browned, incorporate Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, onion & herb seasoning, and minced onions. Cook for about 5 minutes until well combined and onions are translucent, enriching the base flavors of the dish.
3. Combine the Ingredients: In a large baking dish, blend the cooked beef mixture with the canned baked beans. Stir in chopped onions and green bell peppers, ensuring even distribution throughout.
4. Bake to Perfection: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cover the baking dish and place it in the oven. Bake for approximately 30 minutes until the beans are bubbling and the bell peppers have softened, allowing flavors to meld into a sumptuous harmony.
5. Serving: Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and let it rest briefly. Serve warm, optionally garnishing with fresh herbs or shredded cheese. Pair with crusty bread or a crisp salad for a satisfying meal reminiscent of campfire gatherings under the vast Western sky.
