Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1 medium green bell pepper, diced (or substitute half with jalapeño or poblano for extra heat)
1 cup ketchup
1 teaspoon mustard
½ cup brown sugar, packed
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 (15 oz) cans pork and beans (do not drain)
Salt & black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon butter (for greasing the baking dish)
Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
Step 2: Brown the Ground Beef
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until no longer pink.
Add the diced onion and bell pepper and cook until softened (about 5 minutes).
Drain any excess grease to prevent the casserole from becoming too oily.
Step 3: Build the Sauce
Stir in the ketchup, combining well with the beef mixture.
Add mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar, stirring until fully incorporated.
Taste the mixture and season with salt and black pepper to your liking.
