This is one of my family's favorite baked bean recipes, it's an easy recipe but big on flavor, and you can adjust all ingredients to taste The grated cheddar cheese is optional but I like to sprinkle it on towards the end of baking. I have even added in cooked el dente macaroni pasta.

SERVES 6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

3 tablespoons oil
1 large onion, finaly chopped
1-2 tablespoon chopped fresh garlic (or to taste)
1 large celery rib, chopped (optional)
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1-2 finely chopped jalapeno (seeds removed) (optional)
1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese (optional)
6-8 slices cooked bacon (diced)
1 (16 ounce) can baked beans in tomato sauce (or use a 14-ounce can)
1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
3/4-1 cup barbecue sauce
1/4 cup molasses
1/4 cup worcestershire sauce
1-2 tablespoon prepared yellow mustard

Great recipe. I made some substitution but it turned out great. I got interupted pre-making this for dinner and didn't start it again until less than an hour before we should be sitting down to eat. I had already chopped all of the veggies. I left the bacon out (the interuption involved bacon left on stove top while I dealt with kids and it burned). I then used 28 ounce can of Bush's baked beans traditional style instead of 16 can and then I left out kidney beans. Other than that, I mixed 2 kinds of barbecue sauce (left over 1/2 inch in bottom of each bottle) to get a little less than 1 cup. It was great. My husband told me his mom used to make something similar (one of his favorites) with canned biscuits on top, but they were always a little soggy. I cooked cheddar garlic drop biscuits on the side and it was a great, but heavy/filling dinner. Tastes great the next day, too. Thanks again for another great recipe!

What a surprise! I didn't have this high an expectation as I was preparing this. However, this is not just good, it's great! Definitely on my top ten list of best casseroles. The only thing different I did was I added two cans of sliced potatoes and I used black beans instead of kidney beans. I did add the cheese at the end. Tje [ptatpes were a great addition. It turned out excellent. I definitely recommend this to anyone. It's very easy and so scrumptious!

I've made this three times now and it has come out perfect every time! I omitted the jalapeno, bacon and molasses and used Bush's baked beans since I couldn't find any in tomato sauce and the flavor was fantastic! Thanks for posting!
