    Cowboy Baked Beans are a staple at our house during the summer. Adding in some ground beef, onion and even brown sugar set them apart from original baked beans. This makes a great addition to potlucks, BBQ’s and dinner.

    Cowboy Baked Beans

    I grew up in a beanless home. My mom is not a fan of any kind of bean, including baked beans. It wasn’t until I was a little older that I realized I LOVE beans. My mom had been depriving me of these little things my whole childhood and now I need to make up for the lost bean years. Love ya mom! 🙂

    Ingredients needed: ground beef, onion, baked beans, spicy mustard, ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce and garlic powder.

    A few summers ago I was introduced to cowboy beans at a BBQ. They are baked beans with ground beef. I fell in love with the meatiness along with the sweet, salty and tangy combination of flavors.

    How to make baked beans:

    To make these cowboy baked beans, brown the meat and onion, stir in beans, ketchup, mustard, brown sugar, garlic powder and Worcestershire sauce. Pour the mixture into a 9×13 baking dish and bake for 45 minutes. You can also cook it in a slow cooker on low for a few hours.

    I like using Bush’s Original Baked Beans for this recipe but feel free to use your favorite type of beans. You can also add a small can of black beans, drained, to give it extra heartiness. These are some of the best baked beans and have quickly become a family favorite that we serve at all of our summer BBQ’s.

    Cowboy baked beans are great served:

    • As a side dish
    • On top of a baked potato
    • On top of a hot dog
    • On top of french fries
    • With Peach Honey BBQ Ribs
